Resumen del Editor

Get Out meets Parasite in this eerily haunting debut and Reddit hit—soon to be a Netflix original movie starring Blake Lively—about two homeowners whose lives are turned upside down when the house’s previous residents unexpectedly visit.

As a young, queer couple who flip houses, Charlie and Eve can’t believe the killer deal they’ve just gotten on an old house in a picturesque neighborhood. As they’re working in the house one day, there’s a knock on the door. A man stands there with his family, claiming to have lived there years before and asking if it would be alright if he showed his kids around. People pleaser to a fault, Eve lets them in.

As soon as the strangers enter their home, uncanny and inexplicable things start happening, including the family’s youngest child going missing and a ghostly presence materializing in the basement. Even more weird, the family can’t seem to take the hint that their visit should be over. And when Charlie suddenly vanishes, Eve slowly loses her grip on reality. Something is terribly wrong with the house and with the visiting family—or is Eve just imagining things?

Literally - what just happened?

I have no idea what just happened, but that was the creepiest book I’ve read in a long time! Loved the psych aspect of it for sure. Maybe could’ve used a little more tying up of the loose ends but that’s part of it I guess! The narrator was a little breathy in my opinion at times. Also I don’t know what that weird digital noise was…Some cussing, a little bit of gore but that makes it horror. Yes, we need more from this author!

I FLEW through this one!!!

Gripping from the first chapter all the way to end. Did I want to (figuratively) throw the book across the room at the end? Yes, yes I did!! No spoilers and worth the edge of your seat ride!!

This is one of the best books I’ve read all year!

This book is great! I highly recommend it, it is worth the credit. I hope they do make a movie out of it. So good.

Great storytelling and storyline!

So many ways to keep the reader off-guard with a spectacular ending! Great character development and kept me guessing!

Reads like a screenplay not a book

Very creepy, but almost like the author was trying to write something Netflix would pick up. Lacked character development and other rich details that differentiate novels from TV

Slow start, worth hanging in there.

I definitely rely on a quick and early grab in a story based on what I know about myself. This was a little on the line for me as far as my *give up* rate, but I’m so glad I didn’t let myself give up! Great story, interesting and twisting. Performed beautifully as well!

Wait....am I crazy?!

This book is a roller coaster! Did not expect any of what happened! Now it has me thinking 'what if this happened in real life?' So eerie and creepy. Great story.

Great Start!

Really really great start . . Couldn’t stop listening . . . Then just meh . . And had to force myself to finish.

Still wondering

It was ok not that great. I could sleep well. Not frightening at all. Kinda knew

Enthralling and Terrifying in all the best ways.

This was my first horror book and this story was terrifying in all the best ways! It gave me goosebumps during the day. Made this mistake of listening to this book at work and jumped when a coworker came up behind me. I seriously recommend this book! The story is so captivating and the narrators did a fantastic job. I was left with a so many questions at the end, but I like how it ended. It leaves you obsessed with the story. Such a fantastic listen.
