This is one of those books that had me going, wait what?! Multiple times. So many twists and turns and just weird things happening (because of it being a creepy house), but also just in general with people acting strangely. 
 
 The Island House follows Alice and how she deals with the death of her father. His death brings back old memories and a time that she doesn't remember much about at all. Along with those memories are these images of a creepy old house that keeps popping up in her life, and she seems to have some memory of it but no real reason as to why she has these memories. When she is invited to this place, she decides to go and see if it can bring back any other memories and possibly bring her closer to the secrets her father was keeping from her. Along with her she decides to bring her ex-boyfriend who she has been reconnecting with after realizing that they still care about each other. 
 
 Overall this book will keep you enthralled and needing to know what's going to happen to Alice and the others at this new hotel that is inside the creepy house. It takes them all on an adventure that they wanted no part of it and makes them remember things from their past. The twist at the end was one that I was not expecting and had me truly shocked! So much sadness and pain in these people's lives and the things just keep happening or being found out. I highly recommend to anyone who likes creepy atmosphere books, with a side of drama.
