The Misery House (The House on the Hill Book 1) by David Kummer – Review by Julie Johnson
The Misery House by David Duane Kummer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love a good mystery/thriller/horror story and this one did not disappoint!
The Woods family lives in New Haven, a small family oriented town. The kind of town where everyone knows everyone and everything that happens there. Lots of farmland, historic homes, and nothing for teenagers to do except find trouble at the closest watering hole. I grew up in a place like this!
There’s this house on a hill that is just plain weird. No one wants to go near it except for the kids taking stupid dares on a weekend night in the middle of a thunderstorm.
One day, a fire breaks out and two bodies are found. Then a girl goes missing. What else could go wrong? Oh, yes, there’s a new family in town and anytime someone new moves in, they are automatically labeled as “suspicious”.
This book ends in a cliffhanger, so if you don’t like that kind of stuff, well….you’re missing out. There are a lot of twists and turns in this book and a few mysterious characters that I must learn more about. The next book can’t be dropped soon enough!
