Strange Houses
by Uketsu
I am beginning to think that anything by Uketsu promises to be a wild ride, and this book definitely supports this idea! While the jump from “oh that’s a weird quirk on a house blueprint” to “it’s definitely a murder house” kind of came out of nowhere, everything else about the book was gripping and mysterious!
I love when a mystery has twists that I wasn’t predicting. I buddy read this with two friends, and while we saw some of it coming, there was a huge aspect of it all that took all of us by surprise! There was a lot to question, and the ending had me wondering if everything I had been thinking was actually incorrect. I love when a book lingers after I finish it, and this one definitely did.
If you like weird books with unhinged plot points and can suspend your belief a bit, this is an eerie and bizarre mystery book that’s sure to make you ponder what the heck you just read… in a fun way!
