Readers say *We Used to Live Here* is a deeply atmospheric psychological horror novel praised for its creeping dread, smart writing, and mind-bending ...
This book actually surprised me. I never usually get freaked out with paranormalish books but this one was written very well and it actually had me a little creeped out. I feel that the audiobook added another level of creepiness to it. So yes I highly recommend it. Very fun creepy time!
I find myself wondering what I would do in each situation. Would my choices change outcomes? I would have given a 10, but the ending felt incomplete
This was a good book but it was a slow burner and to be honest it'll probably upset you lol. Not that it wasn't good, the people that "used to live there" will definitely get under your skin! 😤
WOAH. This book was deeply unsettling. It was not at all what I was expecting. This was definitely more horror than thriller if you ask me, with some sci fi/paranormal elements. I quite literally could not put this book down. I tore through it and now I’m left wanting more. After that ending… WE NEED A BOOK 2! I feel so disturbed by how it ended & I really want a resolution. Took off one star because I felt like the book was a mix up of a few different things? And maybe that was intentional but I felt like the plot was just a little bit disorganized. Overall though, it was extremely well written and entertaining!
This book has left me speechless. I loved the story, the author's writing style, the between chapter bits, the puzzles. I recently learned about liminal space and it scares the crap out of me, so this book being liminal space adjacent is amazing. My only complaint is I wish the ending was a little more developed/longer, but otherwise this book is incredible.
