(I received a free copy of this book from Vook Publishers, through NetGalley, in exchange for a review).
(This review may contain spoilers).
I felt that this book was a really intriguing read, even though I did also think it took a little while to get properly into the storyline. I felt that the first person perspective worked quite well, particularly since the author just kept to one POV, rather than continually switching.
I felt this book did work, to a certain extent, as being multi-genre… but I also felt that a lot of things that could have been explained weren’t. However, the air of mystery about this book worked really well and I had a lot of questions as I read. Many of them were answered, but I still had some things I was left with that I didn’t understand.
Cassie was an interesting character and although there were things that were different about her, I didn’t feel like she came across as ridiculously over-powered. I did have some difficulty believing in her feelings for Ethan, though. I didn’t think that enough time was spent on them interacting for that to be really believable.
There were a lot of parts of this book that were really creepy. I felt the author did a really good job of describing what the house was like and what the reality was when the characters ended up there.
I’d like to read the next books in the series at some point, because there are things I hope are properly explained later on. I still have questions that I’d like to get the answers to.
