I have never read a book so mediocre in every conceivable way. The end devolved into a not even laughably bad horror movie. The characters were ridiculously cartoonish it was impossible to care what happened to them. Halfway thru the book the main character declared that she thought of all the others as friends and trusts them. I can't see why considering all they do is bicker. The only ones she had real conversations with were the Designated Love Interest (because we needed one of these) and the rich spoiled teen, and even those barely. The closest time the book got to being scary is the very beginning when the houses history was explained. After that everything was so cartoonish and hard to take seriously. I'm half wondering if this was supposed to be a parody but it wasn't self aware enough for me to really believe that. It wasn't scary, it wasn't thrilling, it wasn't suspenseful. Failing all that you'd think it'd be funny at least but it wasn't even that.
I only wish it was as bad as it was at the end from the get go so I hadn't stuck with it in hopes it might get better.
