It's a great ghost story with a likable lead and an intriguing mystery to solve. The author combines science and the occult to craft an unsettling tale that kept me hanging onto my seat to the thrilling conclusion.

This book is more than it seems to be. It says that it's a ghost story, and this is true, but it is insufficient of a descriptor. This book is an emotionally fueled look into a single home with a group of tourists, who learn more about themselves through the titular six rooms.
