Short Summary of the book:

A beautiful old house, unoccupied since the fifties hides evil within its walls. A young couple buys the house expecting it to be a good investment but soon find first impressions can be deceptive. A chilling read which I nearly put down due to being so chilling.

What I liked about the book:

The book continuously kept you on your toes and held your heart in a vice-like grip.

What I didn’t like about the book:

Definitely not a book to read at bedtime if you want a good and restful sleep. The book was a really good read.

My favourite bits in the book:

How the seemingly weak guy managed to save the day.

My least favourite bits in the book:

How salvation came a little too late.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

I believe this author has written more books.

What books could this be compared to and why?

This book had similar chilling moments to the movie ‘Carrie’.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Children No

Young Adult Probably not

Adult Yes

If you like horror, this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.
