really liked it

Eric Ross and his two daughters are on the run from a secret they can share with no one. Eric takes a job documenting strange activity in a house with a dark past of death and hate.

This was a good read, enjoyable prose, full characters, and a lot of twists. The set-up and initial style felt a lot like Steven King, but it didn't take too long for it to develop its own unique voice and characters. The ideas for ghosts and other supernatural occurrences also had a unique approach that I liked. The depiction of spite as something that could be pleasant but horribly destructive was especially well thought out.

Maybe the only weakness I found was that things ended up happening too quickly. What was causing the haunting came out of left field, and the climax was somewhat unsatisfying with how abrupt it was.
