Unfortunately, Coram House just didn’t work for me. I struggled to get into it from the start, mainly because the plot never truly hooked me. I wasn’t invested in the story or the characters, and I found myself indifferent to what was happening.
The book felt like it was trying to build off a previous story, even though it’s a standalone. There were heavy references to past events and character backstories that made it feel like I was missing some key context. I think the inclusion of mixed media or a more layered narrative could’ve helped build tension and intrigue, which the story really needed.
The main character didn’t resonate with me at all. Since the entire book is told through their POV, my lack of connection to them really impacted my enjoyment. I expected a slow-burn thriller, but what I got felt dry, predictable, and lacking in suspense.
While I appreciated the eerie setting—Coram House definitely had potential as a chilling backdrop—I felt it was underused. The wintery, isolated atmosphere could’ve been such a strong asset, but it never became a character in itself.
In the end, while the writing wasn’t bad, the story just didn’t land for me. I couldn’t connect, didn’t care about the outcome, and ultimately found it forgettable.
