Strange Houses

Uketsu

3.74 AVERAGE


some shady business is going on in these strange houses...

this is my second book by this author/youtuber, and i’ve come to expect something a little different from the usual. strange houses isn’t your typical novel—it’s told through short chapters, conversation logs, and even floor plans, which adds a unique, immersive feel to the storytelling.

the story itself is really engaging. i lost track of time reading because i just had to know what happened next. it definitely made for some super creepy bedtime reading!

that said, some parts did feel a little far-fetched, but honestly, it didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment. if you’re looking for something spooky, fast-paced, and creatively told, this one’s worth checking out.

Definitely not worth the hype around it. 

Dragged a little towards the end. But an engaging read overall. I love an ambiguous ending.

"But, in much the same way, there is no proof that it was Keita who actually wrote that letter."
