I wish I had connected with this one better. It has things I usually like - a slowly unraveling mystery, a setting that functions almost like a character, and unreliable storytellers. Unfortunately I just couldn’t fully connect. Although the writing was lovely, I struggled to picture the house in my mind or to care about the characters. The friendship between the characters in the house didn’t make sense to me and didn’t feel real, and I felt bored reading this at times.

I do know of many people who really enjoyed this one, so don’t just take my word for it if this one sounds like something you’d like. Everyone has different tastes. If you have read this one, let me know what you thought!
