I loved the different perspectives and the “translation” issues.

This writing style, it is not for me. I thought it handled grooming in an interesting way, but over all I don't plan to read more books by this author.

This book started out decent, but really bobbled the ending. It kinda felt like the author wasn't sure which twist/ betrayal she wanted to go with, so just combined a few. The prose style was fairly smooth and I enjoyed the culty vibes. It just doesn't feel like a proper cult by the end. More like a mini-conspiracy.

I have found. I have found a creepy house book worthy of a throne. I loved the concept and the twist. I also liked that the house architecture was relevant. Too often authors spend multiple paragraphs describing the house and it's barely relevant. This felt like horror combined with an adult fairytale and I loved it. Gives author quiet hi-five.

This story was decent but somehow it just lacked some punch. I think I would have enjoyed it more, if I hadn't other similar books I enjoyed more in the last few months. Malice House and the Hollow Places fit a similar niche and did it better. If there being a child focus improves a book for you, you may enjoy this book more than me. I didn't hate the kid, he was one the few unique things about this book compared to some I've read in this subgenre. Most creepy house books seems to feature adult women who are single and don't have kids.
