Beneath the Stairs by Jennifer Fawcett
4.0
Thank you to Atria Books and Jennifer Fawcett for letting me read Beneath the Stairs early. This one publishes on 2/22/22
I really enjoyed this book! It’s creepy, it’s interesting and the characters are really well developed. The atmosphere in this one is why I love books like this but the ending left me a little disappointed. Overall this one really hooked me in and I recommend it to anyone needing a spooky, atmospheric escape.
Sumner’s Mills holds the eerie Octagon House, a spooky abandoned house hidden deep in the woods. A man killed his family there and the rumors of its stories keep most people away. Except for 13 year old kids trying to prove themselves to each other. When Clare and her bff Abby go exploring they soon find their whole loved changed forever. Twenty years later, adult Clare hears Abby has attempted suicide in the Octagon House and is now in a coma. Clare returns to her roots to try to uncover what actually happened in that house.
