This was a really interesting take on the haunted house story. While the plot was a bit predictable (maybe just because I have read too many haunted house stories?), the psychology of the MC is where the book is really unique. It also made me deeply uncomfortable reading it - it was a sickening look into how and why people stay in abusive relationships and I did not like it. But I suppose it's better to experience that discomfort from a book rather than real life. I will absolutely never read it again, but I do appreciate the novel take on the genre.
