Oh my goodness this book thoroughly creeped me out! I read before bed and to say I was on EDGE when I attempted to go to sleep afterwards 🤣🤣

I was trying to listen for noises in my apartment over the sound of my husband snoring and the dishwasher being ALL too loud making me even more of a nervous nelly because I couldn’t hear the monsters coming..

And then JUST after I managed to drift off to sleep my cat decided to have a battle to the death with a mouse and as a result crashed and banged around in our hallway closet and the way I almost FELL OUT OF BED in fright… so to say I had bare minimum, disturbed and spooked sleep last night is saying the least 🤣🤣🤣

So thank you Marcus Kliewer for your thought provoking writing seeping into my subconscious and giving me the creeps! If you are looking for a creepy book.. this is the one for you!!

The plot follows a couple of delightful women who just bought and moved into an old house with the intention of renovating and flipping it or bulldozing and rebuilding.

When a knock on the door brings the arrival of an odd family who claim the father grew up there and was hoping to show his family around everything starts to go from bad to worse.

“Once they get in they’ll never leave”

“The people in the house don’t look like they’re supposed to”

And many more horrifying quotes to be found in this mysterious suspenseful spookfest of a book.

Is it the house that’s the problem? Is it a living breathing demonic being? Or is there something inside the house? …. Or are the people you welcome into the home the problem?

From unnerving neighbours to abandoned cabins, this book has it all!

5000 stars, 10/10, an absolute must read!

Thank you to the author for going out of his way to ensure I received an EARC, thank you also to Atria books and NetGalley 🩵
