"A wonderful house with a grand garden - and plenty of lost souls. This is the Beresford. As a tenant you'll have the freedom to come and go whenever you please. The rent is cheap and dear Mrs. May, the owner of the place, always offers a helping hand and warm words of wisdom. It can't be that perfect, right? Right! Be ready to kill or be killed in this entertaining story by Will Carver. At the end you'll ask yourself whether the big guy in heaven is truly listening or not. "
"This book about an apartment building that isn't quite as it seems had some interesting ideas but it didn't 100% work for me. The concept is great and I loved the ending, but I think the middle took too long (we linger on some povs WAY longer than we need to) and there are a lot of typos including in characters’ names, which could make things confusing."
