Something evil hides within the House of Seven Gables... Phoebe Pyncheon hasn't had an easy life. Alone and out of work, she does her best to make ends meet while she finishes her debut novel. But when even the monthly rent becomes too much for the struggling young writer to afford, she is forced to move in to her Great Aunt Hester's boarding house. Known as the House of Seven Gables, this Victorian mansion is a maze of decrepit halls, musty old furniture, and faded glamour. At first, Phoebe feels at home in the strange, quirky old house. But soon she senses a presence lurking in the shadows, just out of sight. She hears it breathing in the darkness, feels its cold touch on her skin at night. Then the police knock on her door with news of a dead body found nearby. And Phoebe discovers the terrifying truth... The House of Seven Gables is a temple to an ancient evil, a terrifying power unleashed by Hester and her coven of friends. This dark entity haunts the stones of the old mansion, plotting its revenge upon the living. But a secret power hides within Phoebe as well. And releasing it may be her only chance to survive the terror that awaits her...

so-so

I was drawn to this book because the house involved is called "The House of Seven Gables." That made me think this was going to be a gothic haunted house story. But, it wasn't.

Instead, this book is a fast-paced more modern haunted house tale where ancient powers lay hidden both in the house and in an "ancestor" attached to the house. It read like a made for TV horror film, with enough to keep me entertained, but no lasting power.
