The final book for July! This was 100% a title buy and I'm not mad about it.
MAN, FUCK THIS HOUSE - Brian Asman (Released October 19th, 2021)
Book Description:
Sabrina Haskins and her family have just moved into their dream home, a gorgeous Craftsman in the rapidly-growing Southwestern city of Jackson Hill. Sabrina's a bored and disillusioned home-maker, Hal a reverse mortgage salesman with a penchant for ill-timed sports analogies. Their two children, Damien and Michaela, are bright and precocious.
At first glance, the house is perfect. But things aren't what they seem.
Sabrina's hearing odd noises, seeing strange visions. Their neighbors are odd or absent. And Sabrina's already-fraught relationship with her son is about to be tested in a way no parent could ever imagine.
Because while the Haskins family might be the newest owners of 4596 James Circle, they're far from its only residents...
My Thoughts: 3/5 stars
I know people love a good cover buy, but this was 100% a title buy. This title will definitely set expectations on the tone of the book, but don't let that fool you. The beginning does have the makings of a more dark comedy horror, but it quickly shifts gears and takes a more serious turn. I'm not mad about it, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't mildly disappointed it wasn't the same throughout.
This was still a quick and eerie little haunted house story. Definitely one you could read in one sitting. There's a good solid pace, and some twisty and bizarre things happen as we get deeper into the story. I'd try more from this author in the future!
