15 years ago Anthony and his friends watched his younger brother go into an abandoned home called "Conjure House." A place with a haunted past that was owned by a man named Peter Suman who was said to run experiments in the house. Anthony's brother, Simon, never came back out.
15 years later and Anthony's parents are killed and it pulls Ant back to the home and memories he's left behind. Memories of the day his brother disappeared. Memories that won't stay in the past.

This sound good, right. I thought so, too. However, it was either the pacing or the dull characters (where was the hair-pulling, foot-stomping, eye-blazing, reactions to make the reader feel, become a part of the story?) that made this read slow-going and at times boring. The idea is great, it just doesn't grab you. There was too much supposition and self analyzing of the characters and what was going on to stay in the moment.

It was a decent read.
