More gross than it is scary, but with enough creepy moments to keep reading. The ending felt rushed.

Really intense book but one of the best haunted house books I've read. Check your content warnings before heading into it though, pretty graphic and upsetting.

I did enjoy this more than I thought I was going to. I got this as a blind date with a book, so I didn’t know what is was(I wasn’t happy with it to be honest). It’s like the hunting of hill house, but I enjoyed this more because there was a lot of action. I was never scared, but I was disgusted. I don’t know why most horror has to have such gross sexual content in it. Honestly I would probably skip this, but it wasn’t horrible.

It's definitely a product of the times. Punishing LGBTQ+ characters and sexual violence towards women. It was good in some ways, but also meh.
