When Ghosts Call Us Home by Katya de Becerra
5.0
When Sophia is 12, her 17-year-old sister, Layla, convinces her to film a horror movie in a creepy house their family is restoring. Not one to believe in ghosts, Sophia dismisses the otherworldly things she sees as nothing more than special effects created by her sister.
5 years later, the movie is a cult hit, complete with a fanatical following, and Layla has been missing for 2 years. In a bid to find her sister, Sophia returns to the house to film a documentary and soon realizes the ghost of her childhood may not have been made of nightmares and special effects, but a very real creature that is very glad she’s back amongst its walls.
Written in a first-person style that just pulls you right in, Katya de Becerra’s latest novel is creepy and mesmerizing. It will stay with you for days as your brain connects all of her expertly planted details and hints. Although I wasn’t a fan of the ambiguous epilogue, mainly because I personally hate those types of endings, the rest of the book held me from the first chapter to the last, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone who loves tight, smart plots, layers of foreshadowing, and supernatural stories and mysteries that are so intriguing you can’t put the book down.
