The Misery House (The House on the Hill Book 1) by David Kummer – Review by Darla Yocom

The Misery House by David Duane Kummer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book number one of this thrilling series and it does not disappoint.

The small town atmosphere created within this story is quaint, close knit and felt safe enough to leave their doors unlocked at night. Very unassuming and typical of an old fashioned lifestyle that is the appeal of living in such conditions.

The small town was shaken at the core after a suspicious fire took the lives of two individuals, one of which is a child. To make matters worse, a newlywed couple has gone missing. For a community so used to being supportive and open with each other, they find themselves questioning the latest events, and the possibility of not feeling safe again.

The community struggles to make sense of things, the lack of clues and the thought of hidden secrets belonging to an individual or group of folks who are less than upstanding and downright dangerous.

This thriller has all of the makings of a great introduction into The House On The Hill series. In true great horror story fashion, it brings to mind that the plot could be easily adapted into a stirring movie or series.

I cannot wait to see what happens next after the electrifying cliff hanger.

I give this story 4 out of 5 stars.
