˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥We Used to Live H'She could almost feel it, hear it - rushing from the darkness below, giddy with evil intent, breathing at her heels.'
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥We Used to Live Here is haunting, claustrophobic, deeply atmospheric thriller/horror that without question, keeps you glued to the pages while you desperately await how this nightmare all plays out.
We follow our FMC Eve and her partner Charlie who just purchased an old house on a great piece of land, it's like a piece of country in the city. They can't even believe the deal they got and plan to remodel. The only problem is one road in one road out. Eve is working on the house alone when a stranger knocks on her door.
It turns out not just one person but a whole family with the father who used to live there and wants to show them where he grew up. He assures her that they'll be quick, in and out 15mins tops! Eve is apprehensive but ever the people pleaser- ends up letting them in.
As soon as they are inside unexplained things start happening, starting with the youngest child going missing in the basement. New sounds, creaks and moans start to enter the house and the family cannot take the hint to leave and Eve now knows, she never should have let them in...
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ I'm surprised that this is a debut novel! So thankful that I literally never open the door to anyone let alone strangers lol. I didn't really do much research prior to picking this book up. To be honest, it reminded me of that show that was pretty popular last year - lol okay, I had to actually google it. The Watcher. That show with the house? Anyway, they're nothing alike but that's how we got here.
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Moving along - this was a solid book for spooky season. I was literally sitting over here on the edge of my seat biting my nails. It was creepy, unsettling, unnerving, and chilling.
For me, part of the creepiness of this story is the ambiguity of it. I was over here second guessing everything from around 65% until the end of the story. I truly have no idea what the ending was. I think, it was left open for interpretation... And if that IS in fact the case, I think it makes for a great book club pick.
Also, Netflix is already currently adapting this to screen. ...more
