Advantages: Scary, makes you concentrate!

Disadvantages: Cant read at night its too scary

Warning: This book is seriously scary, dont read in the dark!

I normally hate scary books but this one was different and had me hooked from the moment I read the blurb on the back.

The story follows a man who moves from LA to get a quiet life in Big Earth in Wisconsin. He takes his wife with him, but they are going through a rough patch and she moves away when she is offered a job.

Therefore its just Conrad left in the house on his own. Spooky things start happening like dolls coming to life, a spooky woman at the end of his bed. It really brings the chills to you straight away from about a chapter in. Some nasty things have happened in the house and there is a sense that the house wants more children as everything female that goes in there gets pregnant.

Throughout the book Conrad goes through some awful scenes at night, and in the day more truths about the house come out. Its quite complicated and I didnt really get it until the last bit where he explains it all.

If you like thrillers then this is a great book, its not for children there are some nasty bits in it, and you really should read it in the day with other people around as I got so into it when I brought my head up when I heard noises I thought I was still in the story.

Its a gripping read and I had to finish it as quickly as possible so I didnt keep thinking about the scary parts at night! I borrowed it from the library so not sure how much it costs to buy.

Summary: I really enjoyed being spooked
