I enjoyed this quite a bit! The writing feels like those horror books from the 80s and 90s in the best possible way. I felt sucked into the atmosphere and mystery of what was going on with this house. The horrific moments really landed. They made me uncomfortable and scared throughout and because Tananarive Due is so great at building compelling characters, I was scared for them. This is a pretty lengthy book but I was never bored or wanting it to be over. I wanted to stay with Angela throughout her journey to figure out what's going on with this house.

I do think something about the narrative structure didn't quite land for me. There is a specific flashback scene where information is withheld from the reader and Due revisits it a few times. Some of the delayed reveals were are worth it but some aren't. We could have had that information sooner and not really lost anything. I also didn't care so much about that very last scene after the major conclusion of the main plot.
