I’m a bit conflicted when it comes to my review for this book. On one hand, I really enjoyed the premise. I liked the setting, the creepy house vibes, and the chance for new beginnings. I enjoyed the characters and found them mostly believable.

What didn’t work so well for me was how drawn out the story was. I found that a lot of stuff was repeated. The author would have each character rehash things without really adding anything to the overall story. It got a little tedious by the end.

I have read from this author before and enjoyed his work. I think this was just a case of a book that didn’t hit a home run for me. I look forward to reading more of his books in the future.

this was fun! i love seeing privileged white couples fuck around & find out, and that’s exactly what this was! the book actually creeped me out (once) which is rare! had me looking over my shoulder between pages lol

I’m usually pretty rat-neutral, but this book definitely made a case for why rats are the nastiest creatures on earth.

the start was a bit slow, and there was too much time spent on the emotional aspect of Tommy/Kate, but once things got going they GOT GOING. ending was a bit meh but not unexpectedly so
