Beneath the Stairs

This was sort of a let down, after the build up I had been hearing about it. To be fair, this sat on my to read list for wayyyyy to long, as I got swamped with life, moving, and Covid.
However, I did power through, and while it was good, it wasn't an over the top for me. There was some creep factor, but nothing to really turn the lights on about.

A good weekend read, for those that are looking for something a little different.

“I don't know. It doesn't make sense to me, but whatever, I'm not going to question it.”

My experience with this book.

3.5

A really excellent blend of suspense and ghost story. The main characters of Clare (and later Mitchell) were well-drawn, the writing flowed, and the story line kept me intrigued. I could have used a bit less of the retelling several times of the basement story but the author did a great job of pulling it all together in the ending chapters and I would definitely read whatever Jennifer Fawcett writes next. She's got a real talent for creating believable characters who have hidden depths to them and aren't just cardboard cut-outs. By the end, I felt as though Lori, Abby, Taylor, and particularly Clare were recognizable, flawed humans who I was glad I'd spent time with. .
