If you’re uncomfortable with that, know you can look up the book on any of the sites below to avoid the link) For more information you can look at the Policy page.

Because Just Like Home is also about what happens when we return home. The new experiences tinged with grief, regret, and guilt. Xe Sands does a phenomenal job of infusing these memories with just the right amount of doubt and love. Part of what lends itself to that feeling is the audiobook narration. It feels tangible like something that rips itself off the pages and sits in a room with you, looming. If there’s one thing you take away from this book review, just know you could cut the suspense in Just Like Home with a knife. All combined with this feeling of knowing that someone isn’t who we thought. It’s about the things that can happen and we wouldn’t know the things we don’t want to see.
But as readers who see these memories for the rose tinted visions they are, can sense the sinister, the off putting, the tension.Īnd that’s my main impression of Just Like Home. The ways in which we believe the best of our parents, believe what they tell us about how the world works. Not only that, but the chapters which are these past flashbacks have a sense of memories and childlike naivety. There’s a sense of suspense and tension immediately to try to figure out what her dad did. Just Like Home is eerie from beginning to end. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. Vera must face them, and find out for herself just how deep the rot goes. There are secrets yet undiscovered in the foundations of the notorious Crowder House. He insists that he isn’t the one leaving notes around the house in her father’s handwriting… but who else could it possibly be? A parasitic artist has moved into the guest house out back, and is slowly stripping Vera’s childhood for spare parts. Back to face the love she had for her father and the bodies he buried there.Ĭoming home is hard enough for Vera, and to make things worse, she and her mother aren’t alone. In spite of their long estrangement, in spite of the memories - she’s come back to the home of a serial killer. “Come home.” Vera’s mother called and Vera obeyed. Do you have those auto-buy authors too? Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts. So when I saw this recent release it was an immediate addition to my TBR. I’ve been such a fan of Gailey’s recent works from Magic for Liars all the way through The Echo Wife.
