Review: Confusing first few chapters, solid read once you get the hang of it

I have to admit, the thing that lured me in about Fathers House was the cover. Once I started reading, I felt `meh'. The story offered a lot of different characters, and I couldn't really grasp them, or even keep them apart. There was Mayo Fathers, owner of Fathers House. There was Ben, his family, and a whole bunch of other characters passing the revenue. Each chapter seemed to introduce us to a whole new cast of characters. By chapter five, I was ready to quit.But then, the story came together. Dots connected in ways I hadn't anticipated. Twists and turns meandered into one big whole, a story so complicated it feels like a Sherlock Holmes book. Except bloodier.There's death upon death, mystery behind mystery, a criminal organization, an evil mastermind of sorts, the wickedness of people in general, and tons more. When a murder happens at Fathers House, Ben is forced to go back to the house he grew up in, along with several other boys. But when Ben goes back, he starts to unroot dark secrets better left buried, that change his perspective of Fathers House forever...With a healthy dose of suspense, mystery and nail-biting cliffhangers, Fathers House kept me to the edge of my seat.I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
