The House of Lost Souls
ghostlysun avatar reviewed on + 37 more book reviews


Paul Seaton gets wrapped up in a mystery because of love, and then he becomes tormented with the darkness that surrounds this mystery. The backstories seemed to lose my attention, but in the end, you'll see that they are all connected... The way they are connected is a big surprise, and I felt they were a bit dull but necessary. I think they could have lost some of the unnecessary description to get to the present day plot. You really do like Seaton, and you want him to be devoid of what is haunting him and to finally be happy. What lost me the most is some historical references that were placed throughout the book. Some of these, however, caused me to want to do research and I have learned some new things. Overall it was a good story with a satisfying ending that could have just lacked the vast, though expertly written, details that sometimes lost my attention.
