Thank you netgalley and Simon & Schuster for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I have only read one other Andrew Pyper book prior to this one, but it made enough of an impact on me that I was curious about this ghost story. I think this book starts strong, but it also starts so slow that by the time it turns from a more Gothic story to an honest horror story, it fell flat for me. I was never really able to get back into the book after they actually invited a demon into the White House. That should be an exciting turn! But instead it just...all fell flat.
Also removed a star because I am surprisingly tired of ghosts giving blow jobs to men.
