House of Hunger

This book wasn't what I thought it would be. I enjoyed the story and the characters, and assumed it was going to be some sort of love story, or a haunted house situation. Maybe What Moved the Dead has inaccurately shifted my expectations. 

I really enjoyed Miriam as a character and her development what great to read even before she came to the house of hunger. I am really glad they started the story there. At first, the background of her family and life didn't really make sense to me, but it added beautifully to the story later on. 

I did hope there would be some more explanation of what exactly happened and how this all came to be. Everything was explained, but it feels nonetheless like there should be more. Making the bad guy show no indication and then suddenly be completely evil, seemingly without reason, is very frustrating storytelling. I just wish there was more lore and something more complicated going on. It made the last couple of chapters slightly disappointing.
