The House of Last Resort

Average rating2.7
As a seasoned horror reader, The House of Last Resort sounded great. I love the setting, the main characters and the storyline. Overall, however, it didn't completely do it for me.
Is it creepy? A little. Is it dark and sinister? Teeny bit. Did I want more? Yes.
It starts off great. New home in a new, but old, country. A town desperately trying to breathe new life back into it. The home purchased has... vibes and things happen. Eventually the history of the home comes to light. Kate and Tommy are now wary of noises and incidents they passed off. Time passes, more things happen and we get to another, even darker secret, a twist I didn't see coming, and...the end.
For someone who hasn't read much horror I think this would be a good one. It would be a good read for Spooktober as the atmosphere is perfect for Fall reading.
I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy.
