Had a very creepy interesting premise that I was excited about.  I quickly lost interest, however. I found the first 50% of the book more frustrating than scary.

Eve invites this family into her house, they were only meant to be there for a few minutes as the dad shows his kids around his childhood home. The comedy of errors ensues starting with one of the kids playing hide and seek and none of the adults can find her. Then a storm starts, and the family can’t possibly drive in the storm, so they have to stay overnight (eye roll). The next day they’re taking their sweet ass time leaving and they start using Eve’s kitchen to have breakfast. I was pretty over it at this point and was frustrated that Eve hadn’t just kicked them out as soon as the kid started playing hide and seek and being a brat. 
 
 The rest of the book was just crazy and confusing for the sake of it. I do not like the trope of unreliable narrators, and I don’t think it’s a good device to use in a horror novel as I want to try and believe the horrors of this house. Instead, I was thinking “yeah, Eves gone crazy.”

 

The ending was disappointing and rushed. The story wasn’t original and found it very predictable.
