- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Told from two seemingly unreliable, yet oddly…reliable? narrators, Martínez’ book packs a creepy punch. I love a good “alive” house story and this one is no exception. It’s a story of two women holding generational trauma and their insatiable house.
I would go into it blind, as I did for I think it makes a greater impression that way.
I particularly enjoyed the stream of consciousness type prose that had a lyricism about them. But be warned, there are no quotation marks.
