Blurb
Few in sleepy Sumner’s Mills have stumbled across the Octagon House hidden deep in the woods. Even fewer are brave enough to trespass. A man had killed his wife and two young daughters there, a shocking, gruesome crime that the sleepy upstate New York town tried to bury. One summer night, an emboldened fourteen-year-old Clare and her best friend, Abby, ventured into the Octagon House. Clare came out, but a piece of Abby never did.
Twenty years later, Clare receives word that Abby has attempted suicide at the Octagon House and now lies in a coma. With little to lose, Clare returns to her roots to uncover the darkness responsible for ruining their lives.
My Opinion
Chills you to the core.......................
Beneath the Stairs by Jennifer Fawcett is a chilling horror story which definitely going to give you goosebumps. Within the first few pages the author builds up the plot with a few characters, and I immediately delved into the book. There were short glimpses of the past in the story which really helped in understanding of the plot. Abby and Clare's character were totally different and exciting. There was something very unusual about these characters. All throughout the story you are going to feel that creepy vibe which makes the book so interesting. I would say that it is one of those horror books which you would not prefer to read at night. The author has done a commendable job.
Definitely, 5 stars for the book. Thanks to the author and edelweiss for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book.
