Summary
After the untimely death of her mother, 14-year-old Sarah Crane is forced to grow up quickly in order to help tend her family's Vermont farm and look after her grieving father, who's drowning his sorrow in alcohol. But their quiet life together is shattered when her father is jailed for killing another man in a barroom brawl and injuring Sarah in a drunken car crash.
Left in the cold care of a loveless foster family and alienated at school, Sarah finds a kindred spirit in classmate Nick Dunnigan, a former mental patient still plagued by voices and visions. And in eccentric art instructor Bettina Phillips, Sarah finds a mentor eager to nurture her talent for painting.
But within the walls of Bettina's ancestral home, the mansion called Shutters, Sarah finds something altogether different and disturbing. Monstrous images from the house's dark history seem to flow unbidden from Sarah's paintbrush - images echoed by Nick's chilling hallucinations.
Trapped for ages in the shadowy rooms of Shutters, the violence and fury of long-dead generations have finally found a gateway from the grave into the world of the living. And Sarah and Nick have found a power they never had: to take control, and take revenge.

Just Too Real it was spooky
The characters were so real and the problems faced by a children in foster care was so accurately depicted, it was spooky. Saul somehow manages to keep all the characters real to life while taking you down a journey to a dream like ending. A must read!

Not the best Saul book
Most of Sauls books are real page turners that make you want to keep listening to see what happens next. This story was more of a slow burn and didn’t really focus on the house until toward the end. And the ending was spectacular!!! As usual, characters very well developed and narrated well. (This narrator seems to have limits on her male voices, but you get used to it.

A good book
Where does House of Reckoning rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Not high on the list but a decent story with a really good performance.
Would you recommend House of Reckoning to your friends? Why or why not?
Not really, the last few chapters seem to be just kind of thrown together.
Have you listened to any of Angela Dawe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but I would again in a heart beat, she make a 'okay' story really good.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No

An entertaining read, but that's about all
Just like the title says. It is entertaining, but very predictable, especially the ending. Some of Saul's novels that I have read have given me the shivers, but this doesn't even tickle.

Kind of bland from start to finish
It's not really a bad book, I listening from start to finish. You expect this big spooky thing and it's just bland. A flash in the pan ending that doesn't really explain anything (even by supernatural or horror standards). Story sort of plods along but better than sitting in silence.

Exciting pace
I like the story and the narration was quite good, I just have no tolerance for subservient women. The husbands in this book were the epitome of male chauvinism, the wives were stepford wannabes. it really irritated me through out the entire book. The book was well written and had a good premise but left a lot unresolved and unexplained.
