The House That Horror Built by Christina Henry
2.5
challenging dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Well that's a book I've read. It was an easy and quick read but lacked tension for 3/4 of it, the characters felt like one dimensional cutouts rather than fully realised beings and there was a lot of repetition so it could have easily been a longer novella. The action ramped up with barely 20 or 30 pages to go and then ended with no real sense of closure. Very middle of the road.
