This book was well written in the sense that the plot develops nicely, with a couple twists that I did find slightly predictable. You get a good look inside Aaron’s mind, and it’s an interesting perspective towards the house. I do wish that things had moved a little faster, as some points seemed slow and dragged on, even though the entire time is very very short.
