I absolutely loved this book! It was such a good read, I enjoyed every minute of it. The spooky atmosphere that Riley creates is outstanding, the twists and turns from every direction! This is definitely in my top favourite reads! It’s nothing like anything I’ve read so far, different and gripping. There were so many moments that sent actual goosebumps all over my body, the creepy and unsettling cliffhangers, I didn’t want to put this down, the stories the different perspectives, I loved it. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who loves a good haunted house story!

So I LOVE haunted house stories, and so far I loved all three Riley Sager books that I read before this one so I was understandably excited for this. I wasn't fully sure what to expect but I figured it would be a good time regardless. And I was right, once again this was a good book. But, not great.
So this is basically a story about a girl who's father wrote a novel about the haunting of the house the had once lived in, it gained a lot of success, but unfortunately it wasn't true. Or at least thats what she believed until 25 years later fate brings her back to the house.
Its a spooky mystery filled with twists and turns and many things that go bump in the night. You've got a dual timeline telling showing the events that took places as told by her fathers famous book, and you have her perspective in the present. Each revealing a little more of the story, which I really enjoyed. It was interesting, and I really enjoyed it but I didn't feel anything special in the end. I don't know why this book wasn't a success for me.

2.5/5 That’s it? That’s the reason why everything happened? Okay…
