The House on Seventh Street

I received this book from the author for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are entirely my own.

The House on Seventh Street is a special read that reveals two separate stories intwined with one another. Its mystery is subtle and creative, and the characters are very well made.

Though the synopsis is enticing and sure to grab the interest of any suspense and thriller fans, the actual story is considerably slow in actually getting to the mystery. Most of the whole first half of the book is just feel-good memories without any action and too many descriptive scenes about what something looked like. I know this sounds a bit harsh, but in all honesty I became extremely bored with the storyline to the point that I didn't even finish it.

In addition to the book not living up to it's synopsis; there were several mild cuss words and a few scenes were a young couple were making out in which it got decently detailed. Overall, I really wasn't as impressed with The House on Seventh Street as I thought I'd be, and can only give it 2 out of 5 stars for not holding my attention and having content that I really didn't care to read.
