A mix of Ocean's 11 and The Shining? I'll grant you the Ocean's 11 comparison, because it's pretty obvious, but I get more of King's Rose Red, honestly. And I happen to love Rose Red, so that's definitely a bonus.
I enjoyed the ride and while others complain that the characters rely too much on tropes, I think it works here. You immediately know what kind of people you're dealing with and the story is able to zoom onward. Sometimes being able to use shorthand is advantageous to the story. About 2/3 of the way through the story, things start to shift. Some twists are obvious and some aren't and I enjoyed both kinds.
I also enjoyed the glimpses into the house's past, I liked the story, and I'm exceptionally glad that the story doesn't cliffhanger. It works as a standalone if you need it to for whatever reason.
