The Night House by Jo Nesbø

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Releases October 3, 2023

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Jo Nesbø for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of The Night House. 

Synopsis: Richard is new to Ballantyne, moving in with his aunt and uncle after his parents died in a tragic fire. But when his friend gets sucked into a telephone on one of their outings, he becomes the prime suspect. No one believes his story- and why would they? As more and more weird things start happening around Richard, he sets out to learn about the evil force that has invaded his life. Not everything is as it seems. 

Review: I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. This was one of the best horror books I have ever read. I could not put it down, and each of the three parts had a new twist that was completely shocking while also fitting into the narrative. I especially loved how everything was tied together in the end. Despite being a psychological rollercoaster, The Night House was somehow able to tie everything together into an amazing ending. I wish I could read this book again for the first time. 

If you are someone who loves horror books with unforeseen twists, then you need to read this book. It releases on October 3, 2023, and will be the perfect book to ring in the Halloween season.
