This is a book that heavily leans into ambiguity. If you like everything to be wrapped up and linear, this is not for you. 

For me the two hardest parts were the very beginning and the very end. The mere thought of letting strangers into my house to just walk around is … no thanks. Once I had to suspend disbelief that anyone would do that, I rather enjoyed the next 80% of the story. 

I highly recommend the print. There are some symbols, formatting, etc that you don’t get in the audiobook and don’t really translate well in the ebook. 

Where this book dropped from a 4.75 or 5 star was the ending. Avoiding spoilers, it felt like the author used an ambiguous ending as an excuse to just let plot holes sit in some places. I was not a fan of that piece and it really made this feel a bit unpolished. Great idea. Good bones. Slightly above average execution.

Otherwise it builds really well. Lots of eerie and uncomfortable moments. Setting up feelings of dread and hopelessness. I think it was a really unique experience but the author bit off a little more than he could chew.
