The Dead House

I would have given this book four stars if not for the ending. When I bought the book I didn't open it so I didn't realize the whole book basically reads like evidence. I was pleasantly surprised by that. Halfway through the book I couldn't put it down. It was all going great. Until the ending. Which basically left me with zero answers. I don't want to give it one star because I was loving the book...but i hate crap, bullshit endings. So...the book gets three stars...the ending gets one. LOL.

I am in love with this book. Everything we hear is from what is written or on tape. So we hear indirectly from everyone, which leaves so much up in the air. There is no definitive answer, so we are left to decide on our own. Is it mental illness? Is it paranormal? Is it criminal?
My mind is blown by just how amazing it is.

Ok well first off this was not what I expected at all! I liked the first half better than the second half of the book though. It got really scary! I don't know if I believe the narrator or not. Maybe Carly/Kaitlyn was possessed, maybe they were just mentally ill. I honestly don't know what to believe. I think I like the book better if she was just crazy. I think it gives a more “psychological horror” vibe rather than “paranormal horror” which I definitely am a bigger fan of. However I really don't know what I believe! Overall it was an alright book. A little scary for my usual taste, I still read it pretty quickly though. I thought the dossier style was fun. It reminded me of Illuminae. I'd say probably a 3.75 stars on this one. The second half of the book just got a little too scary for me to rate it higher. (I didn't know it'd be that scary going in)
