That is, until their friends start being killed off one by one. Everyone seems to be holding a secret. Some more deadly them others.
First, I hated the format of this book. It annoyed me to death. Did every chapter have to start with scene markers? I didn't like any of the characters and there was no bonding with them. It was a bunch of teens running around a castle being idiots while their friends get murdered. ...more

The last occupants ran out in the middle of the night with a rifle, jumped in their car and never returned. They left everything. Clothes, furniture, like I said, everything. Just like every occupant before them. The grass never grows. The garden is black. Animals and people give it wide berth. Now the house has a new renter named Anna and I can feel the house coming alive again.
Great haunted house read. Just creepy enough to give you chills. Recommend!...more

Getting on my bulletproof vest for this unpopular opinion.....
I saw all the great reviews and thought this was going to be a good one. While yes, the Getting on my bulletproof vest for this unpopular opinion.....
I saw all the great reviews and thought this was going to be a good one. While yes, the writer created one heck of a spooky atmosphere, that is about all I could cheer about. I absolutely abhorred the main character. Her only goal it seemed in life was making sure her husband was happy, whether she was or not. It was all about him. She was a dollar tree doormat. The husband was an arrogant ass. Just no, nope, not today. Who lets their housekeeper degrade them and pull all kinds of shenanigans without being called on it at least? We kept being told how much money this dude had, so we're just going to let the maid run amok. Finally, after getting through all, the twists are just dumped on your lap. Like here you go, have a good day.
I settled on 3 stars because I did enjoy the mystery elements. ...more
