kelsmom, you are correct with James (James's book) and Mr. Kyriakis's house. The home of all the Kyriakises together is the Kyriakises' house (possessive of the plural).

If you (or a character in the book) might be the sort to speak in a sort of old-world-flavored way, and/or those Kryiakises have owned that house since Moses was floating in the bullrushes, you could conceivably refer to it as "the Kyriakis house" - no apostrophe.
