This is getting a heartfelt "meh" from me.
One the one hand the story is a rather compelling one, being about a time-travelling serial killer, who kills women because a house has told him to do so. On the other hand this story is a rather pointless one, because Lauren Beukes doesn´t explain anything in the end. What motivation does the killer have to kill the women? What is up with that house? And what does it mean when a girl has the "shine"? She explains absolutely nothing. And as usual the time travel thing doesn´t make any kind of sense and towards the end I was confused out of my mind. And I really didn´t like that Lauren Beukes left the ending to my own imagination.
I was entertained while reading this book, but it has the nutritional value of a bag of potato chips.
