This is to say nothing of two women, who looked very similar to his mother, with who he had a dependent, and quasi incestuous “marriage” vibe with, betraying him in his own eyes. There are a lot of confusing sexual undertones in those relationships. I saw it as Mom, the wife, Stella, the whore, Freya, the saint. I saw the way he painted their souless eyes as part of him not being able to see much difference between the three. </spoiler.

I enjoyed this but felt it was aiming at a mark it didn't quite reach. The creepy house atmosphere was there, but not scary enough. The heroine was, frankly, a bit wet. I felt I wanted to shake her and tell her to pull herself together and take some action. I kept reading because I wanted to know how it ended, but I felt the whole thing was lacking somehow.
