Someone's Inside My House?
There's Someone Inside Your House Review
By Sithmi
Over a year
after her parents sent her away from Hawaii to live with her grandmother in
landlocked Nebraska, Makani Young is still adjusting to her new life. She's
made a small group of close friends and even flirted with romance, but her past
in Hawaii is still hard to forget.
And then . . . one by one the students of her new high school begin to die in a series of gruesome murders. Makani doesn't know who's next on the list. Between this, and a secret scorching relationship with the school weirdo, this school year may turn out to be one to die for . . . literally.
The book is a great thriller. There is suspense that keeps you guessing. What was different about this from other thrillers I have read was that, they reveal the killer. And yet the story hasn’t even reached its climax.
The book starts off with an eerie odd sentence that immediately has conspiracies swirling. The author, Stephanie Perkins, has a certain sense of humour along with great tension building. Instantly you think this character is the killer. Ah no, that’s just props. And oh, they’re the victim.
The first and really only suspect is Ollie with his sudden pink hair and his usual off putting isolated behaviour. This seems reasonable too, and of course the readers would start to question his history as well, with dead parents and cop for an older brother.
Our other focus is Makani Young, who somewhat knows Ollie and has a dark past. She keeps hinting at something dark. For a second you are made to think, is she the killer? Oh and it gets better. All the victims seem to have a past.
Then you keep reading and find the reason for killing and you think, 'What?' That selfish little- ...you get the idea. This story had a mix of cliché and weird with gruesome high up there. The imagery is pretty wild if you can recreate it in your head. It can make you cringe. Towards the end, it gets hectic and the desperate shows on the killer’s face.
The grand scheme is pretty impressive though. Here’s a somewhat inexperienced killer with one hell of a plan, taste for blood but one stupid reason. Nevertheless, I love that there are no regrets. This murderer is so sick and yet knows what they’re doing.
So if you want to get that unsolvable mystery of who the killer is, because really it is solved for you, this is the book. And how great is it that this all happens in the great month of October. So this book was in true spirit of Halloween.
