This was exactly what I expected it to be, slightly dated, catholic-themed horror. This is a classic horror that I missed out on the first time around because I never knew it was a book. I remember seeing the movie when I was a kid or bits of it anyway but I didn't realize it was adapted from a book. A model with a dark past moves into a great apartment with affordable rent. All is well until she meets her neighbors! Some of the language is a bit dated but the story itself stands up to the test of time. I would rate it 4 of 5 stars. I received a complimentary copy for review. The whole time I was reading this book, I was just waiting for things to start making sense; that "aha!" moment if you will, and I felt I was never fully able to understand why or how certain things were happening and how they tied into the story. I will say, however, that parts of it creeped me out very much, so I enjoyed that. Allison's fear towards the end when she hid in her closet was palpable; I really felt her desperation, and the descriptions of it were impressive. I was very disappointed in this book. After reading good reviews and having this suggested to me on several blogs, I was left underwhelmed. The build up of suspense and the atmosphere started off strong, but seemed to take a cliff dive as I progressed toward the end, when I was hoping to make some mindbending revelation.
