That‘s an ending I did not foresee. This is so much more than a haunted house story. So much creepier. Both of the main characters exchange chapters, with another character occasionally having their own chapter. Miscommunication, obfuscation, hauntings(?), possessions(?), murder, scenes that will make you sleep with the lights on. Wow! I really enjoyed this book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book had my attention the moment I saw it. Much like the house, it seemed to pull me in, as I read almost 60% of it the day I bought it. It‘s filled with twists and turns that will have you staying up to find out what happens next.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4.5 ⭐️ I LOVE Sarah Pinborough books.
More horror-lite than some of her others, but so good. Husband and wife move to the country after the wife wakes from a 6month long coma. She thinks the house is haunted - husband thinks she‘s crazy. It‘s dual POV and the twists actually made me mad, but in a good way.
Emily was in a coma for 4 months following an accident & to aid her recovery somewhere quiet, she agrees to move from London to 'Larkin Lodge', a house on the Devon moors. She hopes that this will give her marriage to husband Freddie a fresh start, but when they arrive, far from the pretty country home on the website, the house is shrouded in mist & inside the house is either unbearably hot or achingly cold.
Hoping for a fresh start, Emily & Freddie move from the city to the English moors. But Larkin Lodge isn‘t a welcoming house… it‘s not long before they‘re bickering over the thermostat, open windows & odd smells. The house isn‘t the only one with past secrets weighing heavily on the present. An original twist on a traditional haunted house story, I found every reason to keep listening! Great performance & I loved the raven interludes! Really fun!
'We Live Here Now' provides a different type of haunting. I won't give away the twist at the end, but there definitely is one. The book was atmospheric and tense throughout. I think this might be my favorite book by Pinborough. There is dual narration that works well. A male narrator for the MMC, and a female for FMC. 4 stars.
