DRB Reviews...We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer

Rating: 4 stars
Firstly, I am so excited to review a Canadian author! And oh my what a story this was!

Imagine, you answer the door to a family of strangers late one evening, and they are asking if they could show their children the inside of your house, as this is where they grew up. You are tired and feeling put out, but decide to be kind nevertheless. Soon after they arrive, your perception of everything starts to change and you question what is real and what isn't. As you are desperate to get them to leave, creepy things begin to happen and you are starting to see terrifying presences. All you want them to do is get out of your house, but they remain and you are starting to question your own sanity. 

I kept questioning, what am I reading? It was an innocent enough story that goes rogue and gets twisted with evil, reminding me of both the TV show Stranger Things and the movie Paranormal Activity.

I picked it up thinking it would be a great thriller, never realizing it was actually a horror novel. What I loved most, is it had me questioning everything. It read simply, and seemed normal in every way, until it wasn't! I read on tender hooks not knowing when the story would turn evil. I promised myself if it gets too scary, I would just stop reading...but of course, I couldn't put it down. What a scrumptious popcorn read! I gave it four stars not because it wasn't well written, but simply because it wasn't my favourite genre of choice.

What a read...I am not disappointed!
