Well wow. This book from the start is already intriguing in its own kind of immediate foreshadowing way. The character portrayal and down to earth real emotions are expressed very well. The thoughts and raw expressions between the two main perpesctives are engaging and 
Satisfying.

I feel like the book touched perfectly on the already horror concept of the haunted house prospect very well. As well as it did with satisfying my horror portion, it gave many very real and emotional interactions between a couple and their trying to keep a relationship lasting with all of the horrors around them, continuing to worsen and become more disturbing.
.
The disturbing scenes and words that come out of the characters true colors as the book goes on are gut-wrenching. The beginning to turn on one another and spiraling down into madness makes you want to see what’s next, makes you want to know more. I really enjoyed this book and it was one of the very few that have made me feel uneasy in my own room.
