I know this one was divisive for a lot of folks, but I really liked it. Honestly, with the cost of houses, I'd seriously consider staying in one that was incredibly haunted. I can deal with bleeding walls for a month if it means home ownership.

Anyway, that aside, this was really creepy. I wish there had been more time given to why the hauntings were happening, since the explanation felt kind of rushed during a really climactic moment. However, I'll give Orlando points back because I really like how she ended the book and have to admit that I didn't see it coming.
