Review: First of all, a huge thank you goes to the wonderful author of this book, Chambray Blue, for sending me a free copy of this book in exchange for a review! This is such an amazing story of greed, selflessness, and true love. And no, I don't mean mushy romantic love (although there is a little there), I'm talking about Godly love. The kind of love we should have towards others, whether that's strangers, friends, family, pets, etc. The House has done the best job of displaying that that I think could have been done. It also shows, that money brings out people's true selves. Whether that's in a good way, like for Bob, or in a bad way, like Kendra or her sons.
Things I Loved:
-Lots of the characters, especially Bob, were excellent role models. I don't think I've encountered such selfless and loving characters before!
-It had a contemporary+suspense meets a Christian version of a haunted house story feel to it, which I really enjoyed.
-If I would cry while reading, I would have definitely cried during this one.
Things I Didn't Love:
- I mean, seriously, what isn't there to love?
In Conclusion: What can I say? You just have to read this book! It's one of those books that teaches you to become a better person, and that you'll treasure in you heart forever.
