This was a fun read! There were some really freaky moments early on that would absolutely keep me up at night if I were the main character. Blending supernatural occurrences with real-life mind games was a cool take on a haunted house story. 

That said, the tone felt a little inconsistent. And the characters were all stupid jerks that I didn’t care about at all, haha. Actually, that’s not true, Zephyr’s cool. The kids would have been much more believable as teens. There’s no way the boy one is only ten, child-genius or not. The husband is a forgettable asshole who I’m happy sits out much of the story. (Fuck you, man, YOU go to therapy.) My favourite character was the house. Team House all the way. 

Despite some flaws, this was a quick, entertaining read when you focus on plot. Some of the editing issues were a little distracting, but when you’re here for something campy and ridiculous, that stuff doesn’t really matter. It felt like an ‘80s horror flick. You’re not always sure what’s going on, the characters are a mess, but it doesn’t matter because it’s all chaos. The only thing it was missing to fill the ‘80s horror vibe was the obligatory boob scene.
