 This felt more like a contemporary fantasy thriller with horror elements than horror. I went in expecting a haunted house horror and felt a little thrown off by what I got, as such... I think my expectations clouded my overall enjoyment of the book and around about 70% it started feeling off for me.

Still, there were some great moments and Chuck is definitely a great writer. If you go into this one, just drop any expectations you have.
