    Playing Nice is Definitely Not the Theme of the Book!
    I requested a review copy through BookBrowse, as the plot synopsis sounded interesting to me. As always, I will avoid simple plot summaries and let you know what I liked and what I didn't.

    First, this isn't my first Rachel Harrison book, so I knew that the fantastical would be blended with the mundane. A reader has to be prepared for a roller coaster through the supernatural to enjoy this book.

    What I liked: the dissolution of Clio as she encountered the house and what was lurking inside; the story within a story; Clio's isolation as she dealt with the things no one else in her family wanted to remember.

    What I disliked: the ending made me lose all respect for the family; the book ran long at times, especially during interactions with Clio's family and the story within a story.

    Overall, a solid 4 out of 5.
