I don’t think the author has ever actually met a woman before. I wish the rest of the book even somewhat made up for it, but alas

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

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.

If you are thinking about reading this you really need to look into the content warnings and read some reviews. I would honestly say don't bother.

I picked this up on a whim because the synopsis sounded intriguing and like something I might enjoy.

I didn't. I really didn't.

I have a lot of issues with this book and not a lot of good things to say. I'm not even really sure why I didn't DNF it to be completely honest.

This book was a ride to say the least and not a good smooth ride, more like a bumpy, traffic filled ride from hell.

Hell House is very scientific, almost to the point of annoyance and over explaining. The book is told through four different points of view but it never differentiated between whose point of view you were reading, and so when it would switch suddenly you were left confused. All of the characters are unreliable and you never really know what's going on.

There were certain scene I read and was just dumbfounded by. This book would go from being very scientific and to raunchy in the worst way possible.

The pacing was incredibly slow and fast at the same time. It felt like it dragged on and could honestly have been cut in half in my opinion. Then, other times if would feel like it everything was happening too fast and you were left 5 chapters behind.
