This is my second LJ read, and if there’s one thing she does, it’s that she gets me at the end!
It took me forever to read this, and tbh idk why, because it’s an easy and intriguing read. I got distracted by life. BUT I’m glad I finished it! The plot was lowkey disturbing — the idea of a family that slowly became like a cult, a baby left behind who now finds herself the owner of the house where it all happened — but that made it all the more interesting. The mystery unfolds slowly and deliberately, and there are 3 alternating POVs which I enjoyed. Figuring out who the third speaker was took so much brain power, I didn’t know until the author cleverly revealed it. JUST when I thought I couldn’t be more shocked! Some of it wasn’t very believable, but it’s more fun to just buy into it.
Another great thriller. Not mind blowing, but just crazy enough to be memorable.
3.5 stars! ⭐️

The family upstairs have taken over. They are like mold growing in the walls, spreading spores at every turn, infesting everyone and everything until there is nothing left but darkness. Oh but Henry is a cleaver boy, yes a very cleaver boy indeed. Survival is an instinct that every living soul has and when forced they will do whatever is needed to make sure they survive.
Despite how disturbing the family dynamics were in this book this was a extremely fun read.

While this book wasn’t as good as some of her others, I still was engaged in the book and wanting to know the outcome. It is definitely worth reading and I would recommend it to others.

Read this quickly and enjoyed the twists in turns. Wasn’t in love with the long sentence structure. Would recommend for anyone that wants a quick, intriguing read
