BLURB:
When Kirk Stanford moves into his new home, strange things begin to happen. Messages appear in the steam on his mirror, warning him of a nameless threat. Then someone keeps breaking into his house, looking for something Kirk can’t identify. With the help of his boyfriend, Damon, Kirk digs into the house’s history, and discovers not just the previous owner’s brutal murder, but threatening letters written to him from someone named Sam. As the intruder strikes again, Kirk and Damon find themselves fighting not only to solve the mystery, but to keep from being murdered themselves.
REVIEW:
I shouldn’t have started reading this book at 10PM. It had just enough spooky suspense that I had to keep reading until I finished it! And I’ll admit it, I did start hearing things outside my bedroom window as I was reading…
When Kirk moves into his new house, right away he can’t help but notice something is a little off. The first time he turns the shower on in his 3rd floor master bath, the room gets steamy and the message “HE LIES” appears, written on the steam covered mirror. He thinks maybe his boyfriend Damon has gotten there and is playing a trick on him. But when he looks, there is no one else in the house.
The author takes us into a mystery. Who wrote that note on the mirror and the subsequent ones that appear? What is up with the sexy neighbor down the street and the private investigator that shows up at the door? And most importantly what happened to the last owner, and why did his real estate agent never mention anything about it?
This book had me talking to myself like I was watching a horror movie at a couple points. Particularly when Kirk finds a small door in the basement wall which leads to a little room full of boxes. Of course he goes in. I was talking to my Kindle saying “don’t go in there, wait for Damon”. Of course the door slams shut. Again I’m talking to my Kindle saying “moron, haven’t you watched any horror movies?” I’ve read a lot scarier books, but this one is creepy enough to satisfy.
I really enjoyed this book and recommend it for anyone looking for a good mixture of mystery and spooky suspense.
