⚠️REVIEW⚠️
Wow! I could talk about this book for hours. Jon Athan knocked it out of the park with this one. It immediately takes off and doesn't let up. He has such an amazing writing style. You really connect with the characters in this book, and you feel all of the emotions as you read. This one actually kept me on edge and had me taking a flashlight and paying more attention when I went outside after dark. This is my second book by this author, and I am now convinced I need to read them all. The author does a wonderful job incorporating all of the horror, gore, and violence while telling a thrilling story. This one releases in October 2024, and if extreme horror is your thing, you need to check it out.
"While her parents attend a work party, eighteen-year-old Ella Romero is left in charge of her two siblings—thirteen-year-old Nicholas and eight-year-old Arianna—at their secluded lake house. In her usual fashion, Ella invites her friends to hang out while her parents are away, too. It was supposed to be an easy, quiet, normal night.
But then a grizzled stranger arrives at the home. Although no one answers the front door, he knocks and talks, knocks and talks—knocks and talks. Not before long, the man’s bizarre, nonsensical ramblings turn into nasty threats.
He wants to get inside the house. He believes he’s meant to be with Ella. And he won’t let anything or anyone stop him from fulfilling his ‘destiny.’ "
