Y'all this book scared the pants right off me !! As soon as I saw this cover I was captivated right away and the fact this book is going to be made into a movie on Netflix starring Blake Lively it was a no brainer !

The entire time I was reading I kept waiting for something to grab me and whisk me away, I felt unsettled the entire time I read We Used to Live Here. I truly felt as if I was casting my eyes on a movie every breathing moment of this read . Marcus Kliewer just gained a new fan, phenomenal thriller !

"Ch- Charlie ?" Eve's voice trembled. Now ,every fiber of her being screamed: RUN. Yet she continued creeping forward, one foot after the other, until she swung the door wide open. Putrid reek wafted out, hitting her like a wall. A stench so powerful, it dredged up flash jolt memory : As a child , walking home from school,, she'd accidently stepped on a dead sparrow . With a wet squelch , her red gumboot burst the bird's stomach open , unleashing a mess of bleach-white maggots onto the sunbaked sidewalk."

This story is not for one who is easily frightened. This is a fast paced horror thriller and I read it in one sitting !

One cold evening , Eve receives a knock at her door of their new house her and her partner Charlie just purchased , an old Victorian style home with the intent to renovate or potentially tare down, when she opens the door to her surprise stands before her a family of five and the father says " We used to live here , may we come in and have a tour " ?

Do you ever get that gut feeling something isn't right , like your spidey senses are on overdrive ? Well Eve had that , she knew deep down something was off , but yet she felt compelled to let them in , " ok just for 15 minutes " ...it is quite clear that she should have listened to that inside voice !

You will question everything you know about this town and this house located at 3709 Heritage Lane , what is really going on up there , is it Insanity , Vengeance or Paranormal ???

I really think fans of Home Before Dark, A History of Wild Places , Rock , Paper , Scissors and The Other People will welcome and devour every moment of this book !!

Thank you Netgalley , Atria Books and Marcus Kliewer for this amazing digital ARC !
