Changes

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the book carried many good morals: we must decide for ourselves what we believe, because nothing is as straightforward as it seems. Most importantly, we learn that appearances can be deceiving - perception and reality rarely match up.

I was unconvinced by the romance in this book; perhaps I felt that it had no place in a book that bridges the gap between thriller and horror. There is no shortage of twists and surprises, however, I personally think that the plot dragged a bit in places. Furthermore, Kaitlin's narration grew slightly repetitive - despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed ''The Dead House'' and would recommend it to fans of [[Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake]] and [[The Unbecoming Of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin]].
