So if you look at my stars, don't think the rating is because it's not a good book. It's just not a book for me. I don't mind dark YA fantasy horror, but  I just think maybe contemporary horror isn't my thing.  It took me a while to adjust to the writing style and rhythm of this one, it was florid and discriptive cryptic--the protagonist isn't exactly an unreliable narrator but she picks and chooses what to tell the reader. Once I had some sort of grasp of what was happening inside the house, it started to come together for me and I enjoyed the resolution.
