Meh. I'm not sure why this book received so much hype. Maybe if I'd read it in October to get myself hyped for Halloween I would've liked it more? It had elements of Dracula, The Haunting of Hill House, and The Little Stranger – creepy old house with a weird family that definitely has something evil going on. But it also wasn't super compelling and bordered on bodice-ripper turf. I listened to it from the library so I was able to speed it up, but even then I found myself waiting for it to be over.
