Eve and Charlie have just bought an old fixer-upper in the Oregon woods. Their plan is to fix it up and flip it. While Charlie is out one night, Eve hears a knock at the door when she opens it she discovers a family of five on her doorstep. The father, Thomas, says he used to live in the home and just wanted to show the family wife Paige and three kids the house as they were travelling past on the way to the their new home. Could they just come in for a moment and look around? Against her better judgement, Eve lets them in for 15 minutes, but then it turns into an hour, one of the kids refuses to come out of hiding, and then a storm hits that strands the family in the house overnight. When Eve is looking around the house there are corners in the attic and the basement she’s never seen before tonight. Is the house changing? Whats going on who is this family what do they want from her? Wheres Charlie?

Holy shit, this was good. If you love a creepy, unnerving book that burns with tension and builds the horror on every page, this is the book for you. This psychological horror is all about the tiny details, the little moments of perception that, once you see them, can change the whole picture. I loved all of the interludes that interspace the main story and begin to build the picture of what is really happening in the house, they were so much fun to read and decipher. If you’ve ever been watching a horror movie yelling at the screen “don’t do it just close the door” that is the exact feeling this book gave me from the the first few pages. Its such a simple moment that is so beautifully turned into this tension filled story I could not put down once I started reading it My advice would be to try and read it all in one sitting its totally worth it, sucks you in, and then doesn’t let you go.
