Still, the billionaire fundamentally had nothing against the people who lived here, in the paupers??? tenement he had designed. Their poverty, their lack of education and class, it wasn???t their fault. It was simply the by-product of a system. And Tobias had no respect for those who benefited from a system but could not stomach looking at the waste produced by it. This world was designed to generate winners and losers, and it showed a lack of character to wish yourselves a winner without accepting what it does to those who lose.
Another masterfully written piece by Jonathan Sims. Every single story was thrilling and authentic.
And parallel to the obvious “Haunted House” take, the book undertones a brilliant critic of today's social stratification, ethical issues and the price that needs to be paid by the poor and working lower class to generate grotesque wealth for the upper level, few top of the world individuals.

I found the 2 pages Epilogue where in the end everyone has a happy ending quite weak and uncessary but it doesn't strip away the book from its glory
I cannot wait for Jonathan Sims' next book !
