Suburban Hell

Maureen Kilmer

3.5 AVERAGE


If you love Desperate Housewives and classic possession stories, then you would love this!

These suburban wives, who met while mocking the PTA, quickly became best friends! During their regular movie nights they joked about getting a She-Shed. A joke that one member decided to make reality.. But,
this group of friends is going to find out just what kind of nightmares you might unleash when you start to dig into the earth.

Suburban life meets demon possession.. what more could you want?!

Thank you @NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

5.0

I got this because I wanted something spooky, but not too spooky and... it was much spookier than I expected.
Don't let the setting of "Suburb" and all the characters being Stay At Home Moms fool you, this is 100% a horror novel.
Not as scary as that one I read a few years ago and the town that has a witch's curse where you die of you leave(Hex), but also not for the faint of heart.
Because of how genuinely scary it was this gets 5 stars, just a great, actually scary ghost story.

I gave this a four out of five stars, I really enjoyed it! I like the friendships and family dynamic. That a couple good friends who would do anything for you can bring you back from the darkness.

I needed more foreshadowing for what they were going to uncover about Liz’s situation. It felt so rushed at the end! We didn’t have time to think about the parallel connections or dive deeper into the history

If Desperate Housewives and Fright Night had a baby, this would be it

4.5 stars! I saw a review say it was the adult version of My Best Friend’s Exorcism and that was a perfect description.
