If you are like me and have watched a lot of horror films then you know that if your parents buy a run-down house that needs work, then try and persuade them not to move. Unfortunately, Alice didn’t know this.
It is not often I have read a book where the main protagonist is a 10-year-old girl and I enjoyed reading this story from her point of view. Alice was a smart girl, although with her mind wandering as she daydreams, people would underestimate her. The family relationship was believable, and the way Alice and Dean interacted was like any other brother and sister
From the 1st page I knew I was going to love this book. As soon as Alice and her family move in, strange things started to happen. The writing was descriptive and atmospheric which gave this story a creepy feel to it and with enough suspense to keep me turning the pages. The addition of diary helped explain past goings on in the house and had me wondering throughout the story who was behind the strange feelings Alice had in the house.
This story read at a steady pace until the Iast quarter when I found myself reading faster as I wanted to find out the answers to the mystery. This was a quick read as I could not put it down.
I am enjoying the books that Flame Tree Press are publishing and will look out for more from DW Gillespie
