Did we finally get another buddy read done for the year? We’ve been slacking but it’s always a nice treat when we can squeeze one in – especially in the Halloween season.
HOME IS WHERE THE HORROR IS – C.V. Hunt (Released July 11th, 2017)
We both had a lot of fun with her book BABY HATER earlier this year!
Book Description:
The beautiful thing about life is that it isn’t perfect.
Evan Lansing manages to eke out a living as a photographer, capturing the beauty of severely marred and deformed people. He’s content with his meager existence but his longtime girlfriend, Naomi, is looking for more out of life . . . things that cost money—marriage and children. Evan’s options are limited when he and Naomi resolve to split. He can stay with his brother and his brother’s insufferable wife and daughter or he can move into his deceased mother’s remote cabin and renovate it. The solitude of the cabin is an enticing alternative for Evan to start anew. But disturbing things begin to happen once Evan moves in and it leaves him to question if staying with his brother wasn’t the better option. And then there are the neighbors . .
My Thoughts: 3/5 stars
Chandra is in complete agreement and it wasn’t quite the book for her – she did listen to the audiobook
Another book we agree on. I didn’t love it, I didn’t hate it. Wasn’t quite the book for me, BUT I think it’s 100% worth trying out if the synopsis catches your eye. I loved Baby Hater by CV Hunt and will for sure be picking up more from the author!
This book serves as a great reminder why I never need to live somewhere where I can see/interact with neighbors again. I know that where I live can also be considered a horror story setting – house in the middle of the woods. But I’ll 100% take that over the alternative
