I am not really sure how I liked this book. I think it was summed up well in the last 50 - 75 pages, but somewhere along the line it felt like I missed something. I am not sure if I didn't register something I was reading - or if it was a subtle indication that I missed that was pivotal to the story, but for parts of the book, mostly the middle sction, I just felt something missing. Then it stayed with me right to the end of the book. Not having read this author before, added to the mix of confusion, by my not being familiar with her individual stype. There were more characters introduced towards the end, but I don't think that was it. Very hard to describe.
I was intrigued by the "house" and the time traveling. There were parts that were grisly, but overall I felt it was a well written book. You knew what the problem was, who the bad guy was, you just had to figure out how it would all come together. Then at the end - was it over? Or was it just beginning. A new time frame - or an old time frame - the start or the end?
I would have rated it a bit higher - had I not felt that nagging loss of something throughout the book.
