Wow. I don't even know where to begin. This book was WILD from start to finish! I had no idea where it was going to go! What starts as a seemingly typical "family moves into a new house for a fresh start" goes so wildly off course! And it was AMAZING!! I don't know how to describe it without giving away any spoilers. But I will say read this book. Absolutely one hundred percent read this book! If you like sci fi or fantasy or horror read it! The plot is wild, it's an interwoven coil of darkness but I never once felt lost in it. It kept a great atmosphere of tension, very chilling, and then it ramped up to 100%! I loved everything this book gave me! The family is so good. Its so refreshing to find a "haunted house" where no one is ignored or accused of being crazy. They've got each others backs. They love each other and that shows in their interactions, in their solitary thoughts, and in the choices they make. This was not only a really good horror story, but it was an emotional one too. I felt for this family, for their friends, I was rooting for them! I'm rambling now but I truly loved this book!
