It was not a good book. I tried so hard to get into it.

Some nicely done characters and fun dialogue but incredibly half baked plot and villain(s).
Apparently the first in a series, sequels haven't came out yet but I'm willing to check them out because the writing was solid enough, just hope the plot can get more focus.

My biggest complaint is that this was far too short!

The audiobook is almost 3 hours & we don't get into the house until 2/3 of the book... When we finally get into "demon killing" it's just disappointing.
And consecrated gasoline? Really????

Bare bones of a haunted house story where the characters felt like sketched up archetypes (tired down on their luck hired killers, innocent overworked secretary, evil grandpa).
