This psychological thriller follows a family to their Appalachian farmhouse where they encounter an unimaginable horror.

In the summer of 1994, psychologist Daniel Hill buys a rustic farmhouse nestled in the rolling hills of West Virginia.

Along with his wife and teenage daughter, the family uproots their lives in Ohio and moves south. They are initially seduced by the natural beauty of the country setting. That soon changes when they discover a hidden room in the basement with a well, boarded shut and adorned with crucifixes.

Local legends about the previous owner being an exorcist come to light, but by then, all Hell has broken loose.

My Review

4/5 Stars

When Nora and Daniel move to an old farmhouse in the country, they each have their reasons for wanting to work on their family. What they don’t suspect is that the house will be the biggest challenge their family faces yet.

After seeing so many rave reviews about this book, I hopped on the opportunity to be an audiobook reviewer. What interested me about the story is the way the author wrote them so full of flaws very early on. It made them easier to connect to. Not only that, it was a good twist to see those very flaws helping to move the story forward.

The entire book has a very suspenseful, creepy atmosphere. While I’ve found that books about possession tend to have a similar idea as far as plot goes, this one derived from the standard. There were some elements Nick added that were unique such as the flashlight cross and the way the demon controls those around it.

The ending was spectacular and gives me the hope that a book two will come in the future.

Narration was phenomenal when it came to punching up the spook factors.

All in all, if you’re a fan of The Exorcist, The Omen, or Paranormal Activity, I think you’ll love this book.
