I actually wish we had explored this a little bit more as I wanted to see where Mark went in his discovery. Mark is living in teen angst - moving away from his best friend, who he has a crush on and is still discovering his sexuality. I may have even enjoyed Emma's timeline best as she's a feisty woman going against the grain and basically being a bad ass. I love YA novel and I love horror - combine the two and YAY for me! There is a reader for every book and book for every reader! I know a lot of people have really enjoyed this, so please do not let my less than stellar reaction sway you from picking it up.
It seemed to take a long time to get to a conclusion and then, BAM, it was done.
The more modern portions were much more exciting, in my opinion.Īdditionally, I found some of the supernatural portions at the end to be rushed and confusing.
Therefore, the pace was completely off for me. I preferred the 1988 timeline and found myself rushing through the 1862 sections in order to get back to it. I wasn't crazy about this format, if I'm being honest. The other in 1862, following Emma and hers.Įventually, it is exposed how the earlier timeline begins to influence the later. One in 1988, following Mark and his family. This novel follows two alternating timelines. Same house, 1862, Emma is living with her sadistic father and psychopath brother things do not go well.
Unfortunately, for Mark, he seems to be the only one who notices his parents and sister are oblivious to the disturbing atmosphere.Īs if moving away from his old life wasn't bad enough, now he has evil spirits to contend with. When odd things begin happening around the house, his suspicions are confirmed. There is a fountain in the courtyard that Mark has seen before in a dream. When Mark and his family move into an old Victorian home, he can feel right away that something is off with the property.
