Given how much I enjoyed The Talisman, I had high expectations for Black House. Unfortunately, this sequel just didn't do it for me. There were good moments and loveable characters, but this book was a bit of a slog to get through. Personally, I found it tough to get through Part one because the good stuff didn't start happening until Part 2. And there was so much focus on the mystery/thriller so early on in the story that adding in the fantasy elements later on was jarring. Overall, I thought it was just okay.
