Arreola, Cristina (October 11, 2018). "What Happens In The 'Haunting Of Hill House' Book Is VERY Different From The Netflix TV Series — But Just As Creepy". bustle.com . Retrieved October 16, 2018. I had heard some good things about this book so before I started it, I already had a reasonably high expectation of it. I went into it enjoying it, but that gradually went down and down and down. What I’m saying is, I didn’t love, or even really like this. I was surprised more and more as the end approached, in fact I think that the more move forwards ,the story gets better, the revelations are great! .

The House by Simon Lelic | Goodreads

So yes, it IS creepy and scary at times, but in an almost 'good' way if that makes sense? This is the way I like to be scared. It's not senselessly scary and there is a point to everything (like, you get explanations for how and why things came to be the way they were). It really worked for me! Chiltern Publishing was formed in 2018. Their vision: to create the most beautiful classics, inspired by Jane Austen’s original books. Their goal: usin g a perfect mix of tradition and the very latest in printing techniques. The size and format of the Chiltern Editions are the original format of Jane Austen books. The publishers themselves are saying: If you’re a romance reader looking for a really well-written Halloween read that’s scary (but not toooooo scary) and with a really swoony 'first love’ romance too, then try this!! I don't care if we're living in a box under the bridge somewhere. As long as I'm with you, I don't care about the rest."

This book may not be quite as riveting or compelling as some psychological thrillers during the main part of the story but it's still a very intriguing and entertaining read which you want to see to the end nonetheless. And the ending, well I didn't suspect it would go that way and found it very fitting to the main plot. I am a huge Christina Lauren fan so I was very excited to get my hands on The House! Thank you, Christina for the ARC!

House: A totally heartbreaking and powerful story The Irish House: A totally heartbreaking and powerful story

My one issue with this book is the ending. It did feel a little rushed and unsettled to me. I found myself wanting to know more! But I can look over that. Told in alternating dual POVs in the form of journal entries, it took me a bit to adapt to the format. A large part of this was because I felt like I had to constantly fill in the blanks between their two accounts. Granted, by the end of the book, it was quite clear why Lelic wrote it the way he did as too many details would have definitely given away the twists in the plot. But still, it was like trying to fight my way out of a wet paper bag for the first two-thirds of the book, just trying to follow the storyline. Which was, of course, frustrating to say the least.At first it was somewhat difficult feel hooked with the story, as I have to admit that the romance of this book is very bad, sadly I couldn't connect with their relationship at all, was somewhat forced and desperate .

Highly recommended and up there with one of the best from the genre I’ve ever read. I'll certainly be looking into more of Lelic’s work. If you enjoy characters that are secretly twisted and a story line that keeps you wondering, watching, and waiting, THE NEW NEIGHBORS is for you.This is the first book I have read by author Simon Lelic but I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be looking out for more of his work to read.
