In the end, the weird “love” House had for Gavin, was the key to defeat it!

For me, it was a roller coaster of emotions. In one chapter I was giggling because of how cute Delilah and Gavin were. Then in the other one, I was worried about what the House could do to them. 
Delilah is an amazing character, a little bit weird, but her love and how she wanted to protect Gavin made her fantastic. However, my love belongs to Gavin, my sweet boy. He was so lonely, and his love for House was so pure

that it made me sad when he realized that House preferred to have him dead instead of allowing him to leave the house.

I wish we could get more about

Hilary's life after the house

or Delilah and Gavin's relationship, but I had a good time reading this book

I enjoyed this book, I do think it could’ve been shorter maybe? But also the ending felt kinda rushed to me. I still liked and enjoyed the book nonetheless

Really liked the premise of a magical living house! Didn’t love that it ended up being sinister. But liked this departure from romance into some romance mixed with fantasy!

 This definitely is the weirdest book I've ever read.

But somehow it wasn't terrible? It kept me hooked and managed to be creepy even though it's quite ridiculous. Although there were flaws it was fun and I definitely had a good time reading it

Too much doe-eyed teenage kissy-kissy nonsense.
