Creepy, atmospheric, eerie, and unsettling. Imagine someone coming to your door and telling you that they used to live there. Would you let them in to look around?
Eve is home alone when Thomas and his family knock on her front door. Thomas explains that he grew up in the home she and her partner, Charlie, had just purchased. Initially she hesitates, but then relents and lets the family in to look around.......
I loved the eerie feel of this book. Plus, it has that trapped feeling that I love in books. We Used to Live Here is oozing with atmosphere, dread, and tension. It has that something-isn't-quite-right feeling throughout the book, mainly because something-isn't-quite-right! As eerie and strange things began to happen, I was glued to the pages.
This is going to be a Netflix original movie and I can understand why. It's unsettling and there were times I wondered if things were really happening or was this all in Eve's mind. I thought the author did a great job with this. The author also did a great job with the what-is-happening and what-is-going-to happen-next feel of the book.
I finished the book with many unanswered questions. I feel Eve had many unanswered questions as well. I wonder if this was deliberately done to have readers feel what Eve felt. hmmm...
Atmospheric, eerie, sinister, and well written.
* This was a buddy read with Nikki Lee and Kim ~ It’s All About the Thrill. ❤️📖 Please read their wonderful reviews as well to get their impressions of We Used to Live Here!
Thank you to Atria/Emily Bestler Books and Edelweiss who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you, Jonetta! I find it interesting that there were plans for this to be a movie before the book came out.

You're welcome, Lisa! It's eerie but not scary but did leave some unanswered questions.
