Naomi's Room by Jonathan Aycliffe
4.0
dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No

Naomi’s Room is told from the perspective of her father Charles Hillenbrand, sometime years in the future following her disappearance and ultimate death. That’s not a spoiler it’s literally the opening line of the synopsis. Charles shared his story from the death of his daughter to present day. All within 212 pages. 

This is such a well written ghost story, I couldn’t read it at night. I was getting too scared and too in my head, every little creak of my house sent a screaming “NOPE” through my whole body. Feet needed to be tucked under covers. Lights turned off and once I closed my eyes nothing was going to make me open them up until the morning. GHOSTS BE GONE. 

There’s really no way to talk about this without major spoilers, but if you’re ready to get elbows deep into a really good and a really scary horror book you’re going to want to dive into this one.
