House of Secrets by Darcy Coates
2.75
dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The duology meets a nice ending. Still not one of my favourite books though: not enough creepiness, not enough originality and the characters didn't engage me enough. It just seemed more of the same thing, I think the story could easily have been told in 1 book.
