This is not only my first Sarah Pinborough book, but it’s also the first book that was extremely close to a DNF but redeemed itself. The book is about a married couple who move into a large home. The wife is recovering from a serious injury and is now suffering from post-sepsis. Because of this, she is prone to hallucinations. The wife hears and sees things in the home, but her husband doesn’t seem to notice anything wrong. Her sepsis leads her to question whether the house is haunted.
Things I didn’t enjoy:
1. The first 50% of this book is very slow.
2. I didn’t enjoy any of the characters. Both of the main characters were toxic and selfish. I didn’t even like the side characters.
I almost didn’t finish, but a friend urged me to continue.
Things I enjoyed:
1. The second half of the book was great.
2. It had a great ending, which brought the entire book together. Very well done.
The ending took my rating from 2 stars to 3.75. I couldn’t put it down towards the end.
