This is my first T. Kingfisher book and, boy, what a ride! It's a story about a haunted house that ended up going in a different and weird direction. Even though the whole story was set in a modern house in an essentially normal neighborhood, Kingfisher did an amazing job at setting up an eerie vibe throughout. I love that there was a fake climax within this story. When it lead to the point that I expect these stories to usually end at, I noticed that there was still 20% left in the book. And I could not guess where it was going to continue going!

However, I found the first half of the book to be very slow as the plots and characters were being introduced. And once we were past the 60% mark, the plot felt very rushed in trying to try everything up. But the writing style and the characters saved it from being dry.

Overall, I really enjoyed this story.

Thank you NetGalley and Tor Nightfire for an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
