"I guess in the end our lives are nothing more than dates and numbers on a scrap of paper," Joje said. "All that blank space on the page? The details of our lives between the numbers? No one remembers that. They're just locked up in some forgotten vault."

Since I haven't been reading enough thriller/horror stories lately and I always enjoy discovering new authors, I immediately said yes when I was approached to read and review Housebroken. And this book was definitely just as good as I was hoping for: creepy, disturbing, messed up, but without doubt a great horror story. The plot itself is really interesting and has a mystery/thriller kind of feel, but the gruesome details transform the story into a proper horror read. The pace is fast, the plot full of action and the story had me hooked right from the beginning. The characters themselves might not be exactly likeable, but the focus of this story is on the actions and the mayority of the scenes are so intense you will most likely forget about the character background anyway. There are quite a few plot twists as well and I can't say I could see the ending coming (which is a good thing). Without doubt a very interesting read: if you enjoy a good and scary horror story, make sure to check out this book by The Behrg. I wouldn't advice reading this book if you don’t like intense and potentially scary/gruesome scenes though...

Housebroken is without doubt a really intense, messed up and action-packed story, but only in the best possible way. The plot feels mostly like a mystery/thriller read and reads in a fast pace; it's the gruesome details that turns it into a horror story. I would definitely recommend this book if you enjoy a good thriller/horror story and don't mind the gruesome details. It's really intense!
