This was the Spooky Once Upon a Book Club selection.
The Rawlingswood house has quite the history, but when the Spielman's buy it, it has been abandoned and treated as a teenager party house. They buy it for a sweet deal, and throw all the money they saved into renovations, but all the changes are not enough to remove the ghosts that live there. And then things start happening, doors left open or suddenly locked, lights left on, strange noises. And the Spielman's were barely holding it together as a family before the move, now that ghosts are involved they drift even further apart.
This was a good book, I really liked all the intertwining stories of the house history. It was a little slow in the start, but once we hit the middle things really picked up. It had it's creepy moments, I admit I couldn't read it too late into the night. But I wouldn't call it horror either, it just makes an empty house feel really empty.
