What Members Thought
Reads very quickly and is quite creepy. In fact, I feel like this is probably the darkest of Ware's books -- perhaps I feel that way because children are involved. I won't say anything to spoil the ending, but to make a more generalized remark, I actually found the "explanation" to be quite simple, and it was delivered rather abruptly. This was an interesting contrast to the book I read just before it -- Lock Every Door, by Riley Sager. I also enjoyed the latter but found the explanation behind

Page turner with a rushed ending
The book really unfolded like a great haunted house story and kept me reading. The characters got a tad complex and made you wonder 80% through what was really going on but then things were revealed and the story wrapped up rather abruptly.

The atmosphere of a home with an old and dark history juxtaposed with the features of a modern smart home bumped up the spooky happenings in this story.
We have not the most likable protagonist, but I think she kept it interesting.
The twist was interesting, but the rest left me unenthused.
I think fans of Ruth Ware will like this book, if you are on the fence-like I am-your enjoyment of this story could go either way.
