🏚️ We Used To Live Here 🏚️

The story centers on Eve, an anxiety ridden woman who has recently purchased a home with her girlfriend Charlie in the hopes of flipping it. One day a family arrives at the house, the father claiming he was a prior resident who wishes to show his wife and kids around. Against her better judgement Eve allows the family inside but once they're in will they ever leave? Interspersed with newspaper articles, radio reports, and the cryptic writings of a conspiracy blogger the novel has an overbearing sense of dread throughout. 

The build up of tension was incredible - each turn of the page the tension rose and rose until it was almost unbearable. Eve's anxiety disorder heightened the fear factor. How does one trust their own mind when they can't tell if what they're experiencing is truly horrific or a side effect of their own anxieties?

This book is apparently already slated to become a Netflix movie and I'll definitely be looking out for it! Overall, it was a great read and I highly recommended giving it a look, especially before it's turned into a movie! 

Thank you to NetGalley, Atria Books, and author Marcus Kliewer for allowing me to read an ARC copy of this book.
