If you are in need of an edge of your seat horror/suspense novel, you have come to the right place with The Homecoming. There are quite a few scenes in this book that make the reader jump out of fright and create spooky imagery that is hard to shake. It is reminiscent of Blake Crouch (via Wayward Pines) where there is so much more to the setting and characters than you initially think.

Outside the walls of the house The Homecoming takes place in is a dystopian future that we don't find too much out about other than the basics being that humanity in general has gone to crap. This slowly comes into play in the main plot of the story but, for the most part, is just added background color. This is a book that has well placed twists throughout and provides the perfect amount of information at the right times to keep the reader interested and wondering what could possible happen next. While starting as a "summer camp"-esque horror, it turns into a maniacal sci-fi thriller, which was not what I was expecting but was pleasantly pleased with. The one downside I had with this book was I was left with SO many questions, some that are fine left to my own imagination but also some that I craved answers to. The questions are so worth the journey though.

This would be a great book for the Fall for lovers of thrillers and books that go bump in the night. If you have a liking for unique books that come out of nowhere, this could definitely be your jam.
