Correct mais sans plus. De par ses bonnes critiques je m'attendais à plus ... J'étais intriguée au début mais plus le roman avançait et plus mon intérêt s'amenuisait. Surtout en comprenant que la moitié de l'histoire est possiblement fausse ... ou pas? Je n'aime clairement pas avoir l'impression d'être menée en bateau par le narrateur et c'était exactement mon impression en fermant ce livre . Reste à voir si ses autres romans auront un plus grand succès avec moi.

What starts out as your typical haunted house story turns into a maze of family secrets, surprising twists, and a shocking finale. Maggie knows her parents lie but she is blind-sided when she finds out why they did it. This dark, mystery/thriller novel draws you in and at the end spits you out with an overload of information in the last 20-30 pages. I was overwhelmed by the amount of twists in those last pages and then the epilogue kind of fell short after all of the action. I would recommend this book to mystery and thriller fans and I would be willing to read more by this author.

Written from the perspective of a father and daughter, 25 years apart. Each chapter alternates between the father's retelling of the horrors lived in the home 25 years prior and the daughter's quest for the truth in the present day - because surely, everything her father wrote is a lie.
Or is it?
Honestly, I still don't know.
Sager is a genius at making you think two things: the obvious ending and the swerve ending. And then out of the blue comes a third ending you never in a million years saw coming, but also somehow totally adds up and fits perfectly.
A book I'll likely revisit every spooky season!
