“Home becomes another name for that place where monsters go to hide and do their terrible work.”

This was a very interesting and eerie concept for a story. Four friends find a staircase in the woods, one friend climbs the staircase and disappears. Years later the friends find another staircase and all climb the stairs to try to see if they can find there friend. They enter this weird haunted house and need to try to survive and escape it. I like a good haunted house story and this book delivered. I liked the conversations the author had about friendships, how they can come and go. There were a lot of good quotes in this book that I highlighted.

I liked this book, I thought the concept was interesting and unique. The friends in the story were all pretty flawed dealing with lot’s of childhood trauma. The house brought all their fears and trauma out and they had to deal with it head on. 

The author mentions that staircases in woods is an actual thing and now it has me googling. Have you ever found a staircase in the woods? Would you climb it?

Thank you to Netgalley and DelRay Publishing for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
