I liked the book but nothing more. I expected to be trying to guess things along the characters because of the clues but that wasn't the case. We see the characters discovering things in this imaginary house but we can't make any assumptions. That's unfortunate. Let's see what the next books hold.
Moderate: Death, Gun violence, and Death of parent
Minor: Chronic illness, Infertility, Terminal illness, Car accident, and Abandonment

I also liked that the story was very engageing and allthough I'm usually not a big fan of books that don't have a set ending and are basically just smaller parts that make a series more digesteable I'm definitly hooked and I'll start the next part right away.
A very refreshing and quick read for me.

The dialog was top tier. I truly enjoyed the quippy back and forths throughout the story.
The mystery aspect is entertaining, but you the reader are definitely just along for the ride. You aren't given enough pieces to solve it in advance.
The ending is a cliffhanger, so I'm glad I already have book 2. It is a great ending that leaves me wanting to dive into the next book. All the little puzzles are tied up nicely by the final pages and a new one has just begun.
I can't wait to see what the next book brings.
