I found the protagonist so insufferable from the beginning, I just couldn't carry on.

This was a quick fun read! However, I didn’t like how it ended.

Holy smokes - what a trip! I could not put this book down!!! I stayed up super late reading to finish and then couldn’t go to sleep because I was seriously creeped out!

Generous 2.5 stars. This was just all over the place.. the twist, if you could call it a twist was just meh. Extremely disappointing and definitely not as sinister as your imagining going in. The marriage made absolutely zero sense as did the reason they fled town.
I thought this would be a five star but struggled to get through the small amount of pages that made up the entire book.
Lots of loose ends that where not tied up. Janet anyone?

WOW this book! I bought this book solely based on the cover it’s pretty yet spooky at the same time. This a page turner and the twist that comes with each chapter kept me intrigued. The house freaked me out and the main character and her weirdness and craziness I thought at times I was going crazy . I would highly recommend this book.
