Bought this book after reading advice from a customer via listmania, on amazon; and because I was looking for more authors from the horror genre. And what I got was a wonderful surprise and somthing a bit different!
This book is so much more than your average horror novel. Bentley Little has a wonderful way of writing, enabling the reader to be totally drawn into the world of his characters (whom are totally believable).
This book is so indepth that it would be impossible to sum up in a few lines so I wont try; (although on saying this, it is an easy read; I am a nurse and read it mainly on night shifts when I had a few spare minutes here and there; and there are not many books I can say that about).
If your a fan of horror, this novel brings an indepth reading experience that is so much more than just another book from the horror genre. Give it a go and you wont be disapointed!

Nice book from Bentley little. Not so creepy or scary as some of his others but an enjoyable read all the same with characters you can connect with.

Shame about the ending

I bought this after being hooked on The Walking. It's not a bad read, the build up is really good, just a bit of a disappointing and rushed ending. It seems like Bentley Little had a great idea for a story but didn't know how to conclude it.

Decent for the most part.

A good story that I found had some pacing issues here and there. The end was a little bit ludicrous but overall it was a good read.

I did not care for it. I know this is a highly rated book..but it just wasn't for me.
This was my first book ever by Bentley Little and I really have decided pretty quickly that he is not for me. The issue is that I prefer a different type of thriller then he offers up.
So this book..has a great premise. A young couple moves into a new home and are terrorized by their Home Owners Association . What a wildly imaginative premise. And personally..I mean I don't know about you, but Home Owners Associations scare the heck out of me. There is a foreboding quality about them. They can be quite imposing. So I was hoping against hope I'd adore this.
At first I did. Creepy creepy plot. This particular association seems quite sociopathic. You can tell at once the hapless couple are not going to have a good time in their new home.
But then it just gets strange. To strange. And delves exactly into the type of thing I hate.
I am a child of old school horror..no gore..no blood..eeriness and creepiness is what I like. You get that in large doses here. but then..along comes the gore. And the blood. It just descends into a mess. And I got rather queasy.
Not every book is for every person. But I felt kind of cheated that this book starts so GOOD..eerie, creepy, just oodles of fun..and then turns into a run of the mill gore fest with severed heads, missing friends, attempted..well I am not even going to say it. It almost made me a bit sick.
Bentley Little sure can write. But I guess he just does not write the type of books I would want to read. I do not know if all his books are like this but at this point I'd be afraid to find out so..no more Bentley for me.
This reminded me of every awful horror I ever red or saw at the movies. And I could not take all the animal violence and severed limbs. I am surprised I got through this.
So..in closing..sadly..my review is one star. It was two but I deduct a point for animal violence. Started with promise, ended with me just joyful I got through the bloody thing.
