Aaron and Bridge Quinlan's father has died and they are now traveling to meet their mother and sister Franny at a huge property in the Pacific Northwest to participate in the reading of his will. All of them are confused when they learn that to claim their inheritance, they have to stay on the property for thirty days without any contact with the outside world. They find this strange, but ultimately they agree to this. However, they will soon learn that the family has a lot of secrets...

I was really looking forward to reading THE HOMECOMING after reading the blurb. I love reading books where a group of people is dumped in the middle of nowhere and strange things happen. However, I found I had trouble connecting both with the characters and the story. Aaron, the narrator, just didn't work for me. I really can't explain it more than I found him not very interesting. The siblings all seemed strange, and their relationship with their father was odd and I wanted to know what the heck was going on. Alas, the book was never thrilling in my opinion. Odd yes, but the overall story wasn't as captivating as I was anticipating. However, I will say that the ending was not what I expected, and when the truth is finally revealed, it was fascinating.
