House of Echoes by Brendan Duffy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a great, creepy book. It reminded me somewhat of The Shining.
Ben and Caroline move with their family out of the City after Caroline loses her banking job and their oldest son has trouble at school. While looking at Ben’s grandma’s house after her passing, he notices The Crofts. They decide to buy it, renovate it, and turn it into an inn.
As they begin to work on the house, Caroline, who has had periods of depression, starts feeling put upon. She’s trying to turn the Inn into something out of a magazine and she feels like she’s doing it all by herself. Ben, a writer, is having trouble with his second book, and their older son Charlie, keeps withdrawing more and more spending hours outside.
The house and the town itself have a creepy history and it’s chilling and creepy to see how they finally get away from it all in the end.
I recommend this book. Great story, plot and it’s a page turner. 🙂
