Amity by Micol Ostow

3.0

This is not a re-telling of that famous Amityville house. Dang it.

This is a tale of a lower cost house. Hey, it's cheap-let's buy it.


There are 2 different families involved in this book. Set 10 years apart, first we have Connor's family. Connor is a weird little shit. His twin sister Jules is about the only person that he connects with. He starts having bad dreams and visions..he kinda likes it.

Then we have Gwen's family. She has had some kind of mental breakdown and her family thinks she needs a break. She starts having visions of bad things about this house and of course no one listens.

Both stories are intertwined together going back and forth from the view points of the two main teenagers involved.

I really wanted a bit more from this book. Some parts were good and scary and then some parts just were ho hum.

The ending though was just threw in. I think the author felt like oh it's time to end the book. Done. :/
