Susan moved to the city one year ago with her husband and 15-year-old stepson Miles. They live in a Victorian house called Carterhook Manor. Susan has become convinced that some malevolent spirit is inhabiting their home. The young women doesn’t believe in exorcism or the supernatural.

Omg I just want to SCREAM at Gillian right now! That ending pissed me off more than Gone Girl did 😒. I love the creepy vibe of the book. Gillian is amazing at that. Good story line. Sucks as a short story. I want more! She needs to write this into a novel! I need closure. I have way too many questions for it to end like that! But overall I did enjoy it. Gillian is brilliant!
4/5 ⭐️

I wasn’t a fan of Gone Girl (I hate the ending so much 😅), but I really want to read her other books. This one is on my TBR because I loved the premise. It’s frustrating to hear about the ending though, haha. I’lll be interested to see what I think.

Yea the ending of Gone Girl is what made me rate it low 😂 I do like Dark Places and Sharp Objects. I want to reread them soon. It’s been a couple summers. May wait til October since they are dark
