The Shadow House by Anna Downes
4.0



After not loving the authors last book I was ready to give her a second chance but also apprehensive as well. I’m so glad I did because I did end up enjoying this one much more. I thought it was super creepy and atmospheric, and finished it in just a couple of sittings. There is dual narration from two women, Alex and Renee who are both having difficulty with their teenaged sons. Strange things happen around both boys and besides the usual teenage rebellion and angst you have a strong sense of dread whenever these two appear on the page. I thought the twists and turns were sharp and smart and it kept me on my toes. Overall a really fun thriller, I think it would be a great summer read for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks to the tagged partners for my copy.
