Rating: 4.0 – a twisted tale of a moral dilemma
Opinion: This was a dark tale about morality. I was kind of scared to read how fast everything descended into madness. The idea of the house being alive as well added another layer of craziness. I was creeped out but wanted to know who would make it out alive. This was one of the few times I was glad I didn’t relate to the characters. Lots of the choices they made, made me fear for my own sanity. There were lots of twists and turns that kept me reading until the end. This is a book you need to be in a ‘I wanna be creeped out’ kind of mindset. So if you’re ready for a dark and creepy book, then I’d recommend this book.
