Downsizing due to divorce, Evie’s family moves to Ravenglass to live rent free in the historic family home, Horror House, as it is known by locals. Her mom is occupied with her new hospitality job and her brother is out most days with new friends. Because she doesn’t make friends easily, Evie spends a lot of time at home, where she notices odd things: a shadow that doesn’t seem right, ice cold bath water that was just warm, a girl in the woods. She learns from a local girl that there have been not one but two disappearances from the house, both young girls. While her mom doesn’t believe in such things, Evie knows something dark calls to her. Are her nightmares about to come true?
Based on the Holly Hobbie character in the eighties, this tale takes a decidedly darker turn. On the younger side of young adult, Evie seems younger than her high school age, and her reactions sometimes are a combination of naivete and youth. The ending’s cliffhanger should be answered in the sequel released in August. This one is perfect for readers who’ve outgrown Mary Downing Hahn but aren’t ready for Kendare Blake or Jonathan Maberry.
