⭑⭑⭑ The Toll House was a good gothic tale for the Halloween season of chillier nights and darkness drawing in early. It bounces back and forth from the mid 1800s to current day with Kelda and her son Dylan having recently moved into mysterious The Toll House. I enjoyed the tension in the moments but felt it lacked depth. It might have felt spookier if we, as readers, knew more about the characters and goings on beyond a superficial level. It came across a bit safe for me and could have punched harder with the unforeseen twists. The twists save the story. Adding more emotional weight to the difficulties faced by characters of both timelines. All in all a good read especially at this time of year.
