The Haunted by Bentley Little

Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This book was interesting but a bit basic in terms of horror. I liked some aspects of the book, especially the weirder aspects and back story behind the land/house. However, I was never truly freaked out or scared and felt frustrated with the characters often because they kept doing stupid stuff or just didn't act quick enough. Also, I could have really gone without all the weird sexual aspects... most of that felt unnecessary and forced. Ending was bad in my opinion. I feel like there could've been a work around the problem so it didn't end the way it did.
