Great Story
What a great book. From the first few pages I was hooked. A great cast of characters, their lives interwoven and connected by the mysterious mansion of Stoneborough. There were characters I adored and characters I loathed, and though I had a pretty good idea where the story was heading, small twists and turns kept me guessing and changing my ideas. Despite her actions, I enjoyed Jo, the main protagonist, and wanted more of her. Lucas's slow decent into madness was engrossing and Danny was vile but interesting. The ending was climactic, with elements I predicted and huge ones I didn't. Overall, this was a fantastic book, with excellent fast paced writing, and I look forward to more by Lucie Whitehouse.
Entertaining
Although this book has been compared to Donna Tartt's "The Secret History," I don't know that the comparison is a valid one. That being said, I still found "The House at Midnight" to be entertaining and enjoyable. The characters were generally easy to connect to, although I found myself overly irritated with the narrator. If you like a psychological thriller that won't make you think too much, this is a good book for you.
Just Ordered Her Other Books
I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't the twists and turns in this book. Just when I thought I knew what was happening, another plot twist turned me around.
This is a great first novel and I have now ordered all her other books, which tells you how much I enjoyed this.
Loved this book
The characters were well written and I could get a real feel for the situation in which Jo found herself. The theme of love and the responsibility that comes attatched to love, along with the varying approaches to this responsibility by the characters was very well thought out and described. A very good read.
Good One!
I enjoyed it and bought more of her books.
