Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone

Wanted to love this one but unfortunately it did not turn out for me. For my horror books I do tend to find the suspense or scary parts only worthwhile if the character development is there. If this book was zero horror (which, for my tastes it's nearly there), but great characters (no, not likable - but human and have depth) - then I can still finding myself loving a novel like this. I enjoy both outright gore and more quiet horror aspects but this book missed the mark in both regards. Would be interested in reading more from this author in the future as I feel their writing is nearly there for me.
