Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey
4.0
Oooh, I love this simmering, twisted little book. It’s the perfect spooky season read.
Vera Crowder, the daughter of the an infamous serial killer has come back to her childhood home as her estranged mother is dying. The same home in which her father’s victims died, but also the same home that he loved her fiercely and protected her from her mother’s anger. However when she gets there, a sleazy guy is renting from her mother and is trying to cash in on the Crowder tragedies.
I just finished watching Dahmer AND moved into my childhood home in the last year so this book was a VIBE for me.
On the real tip though, this book was not very scary to me. Creep level-wise, Dahmer is a 10 and this is 2. The description of the book sounds way scarier than it actually is.
This book is a sloooow burn. Like, so slow I thought maybe I was missing something. But between the pacing and the flashbacks, the story unfolds perfectly to make the ending that much greater and more twisted.
This was my first Gailey read and now I can’t wait to read more of their books!
