"I listened to this book on audio. A Slow intriguing burn. I can’t wrap around how bizarre this book was, i feel this book was not summarized correctly there was so much more happening. Although very slow, there were so many parts to the past and present bounding together it jus kept me enthralled. The ending was creepy all the while oddly heartfelt. I highly recommend listening or reading this book in the dark to help with the effects I wish I had!"

"This book was okay for me. I did enjoy the past timelines and that part of the story. I felt something was missing in the book. I liked it but I didn’t love it. "

Sandy Lopez

"Definitely worth the read! Really like the way this was written and the creepiness of it! I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into but I definitely recommend!"

Skye Edelson-Bennett

"This book is the epitome of gothic horror. The book is a slow burn and centers around two of my favorite elements of story telling. The haunted house is just as much a character as the dysfunctional family. In the end mobsters are real and we would do anything to be with some of them. Great read! "

Charles Moore

"I thought the book was okay. I enjoyed the past sections much more than the current timeline. There is some gore and thought provoking here which I enjoyed. "

"Very slow burn- but HOLY COW. The last few chapters are absolutely wild. I devoured the last fourth of the book. I still don't know what's real and what is just in Vera's mind. "
