A malevolent spirit has held the Kidd family hostage in their home for decades. No one has even seen this entity but it prevents them from dating the wrong people (by killing them) and from leaving the house for anything other than work and short trips outside. It kinda reminded me of the house from the Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine only this house wasn't nice.
Hearing the house's POV was interesting even though even it doesn't know the point of it's existence. The "thing" sounds like a demon but not quite though not really a ghost either. It is a huge presence that doesn't even fit in a mansion-sized living room. It crouches or lies flat all the time, so maybe that explains why it's so grouchy. Unfortunately, the house has more personality than either Jack or Ray Kidd, the only remaining Kidds.
I honestly just couldn't get into the story since there really wasn't any meat to it. I'm sure it I could have gotten past page 75, maybe it would have gotten better. After all the reviews are pretty good for this author but he's (she's) definitely not for me.
