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?

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!

Literally - what just happened?

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

Great storytelling and storyline!

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

Reads like a screenplay not a book

The book started out good and then got interesting and then got slow and old. A lot of things I feel were just thrown in for a quick thrill while others were nonsensical for the story. I will say the author was good with descriptors. But maybe I just over analyze too much, as I found the story to just be okay.
The reading was very well done though, and that is why this has 4 stars instead of 3 all together. Especially the main reader, she kept the book alive.

Enjoyed the reading at least

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!!

I FLEW through this one!!!

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.

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

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!

Slow start, worth hanging in there.

liked the book for the most part. it had a good reader and interesting story but the end was a flop. felt like it ended half way through the book. I honestly was suprised when the end credits started. Just seems like a cutt off end to a story still going.

good but no real end

The story was really good! Narration was awesome!

I honestly don't know what to say. I have more questions after finishing this book. I did enjoy it overall. I was slightly annoyed by the main character at times but she became a likeable character and I wanted her to get back to her partner and her life. I don't think I will ever stop thinking about this book.

The mystery...the unknown
