Nia, Tom’s mom, and Jay were such fun characters. I was also so happy for Tom’s mom to finally find a man who doesn’t beat her, hurt her, do other horrible things. Plus, I loved seeing Nia and Tom getting closer as the story continued. Amy is a new student at Tom’s school and turned out she is the former resident of Tom’s new house. Amy and her family have moved to the corner house of the same street. Amy is strange and Tom can’t stop thinking that she is hiding something. Is it Tom’s paranoia from his past life or there is something really strange going on? Moments later, Mike Sarafin, the guidance and navigation officer, announces that Columbia's wing is encountering drag, or increased wind resistance. Mr Cain asks if everything else is normal and Mr Sarafin assures him: "I don't see anything out of the ordinary." Thomas has faced so much domestic abuse after his father left him and his mother. All the boyfriend of her mother turned out a monster until she met Jay. Her mother has found her dream house where they’ve moved with Jay and Nia, there new blended family. Everything seems to get better until Tom found holes in bedrooms door. caleigh reading another ya thriller? everyone act like you’ve never seen this before! but unfortunately this one fell pretty flat for me.

He gets a chance to start answering his questions when he meets Amy, a new classmate of his and a member of the family that just moved in across the street. Amazingly, Amy and her family were the ones who lived in Tom's house prior to them moving in - who moves out of a place only to move into another one right across the street? Granted, it's a bigger house, but Tom can't stop himself from digging for info, and it doesn't hurt that something in Amy reminds him of himself, sad and kind of broken. However, Amy keeps telling him that she's fine and that nothing happened in the house. Could he be seeing shadows that only exist in his own mind?

Today's Devotional

Amy and Tom were so adorable together! I was happy that they found each other, though it was an awkward relationship, I still was rooting for this duo. Hoping that they would get together. Overall I just can't recommend this one. It was a chore to get through and not worth it for the payoff in the end.

I liked a lot of things about this book but the pacing and atmosphere are perfection! I read this in one sitting and the twists are perfectly twisty and the villains not who you’d think. I love when an author can take an inanimate object like a house and turn it into a character that is able to evoke a certain amount of emotions from both the characters and myself!

Despite the author's efforts to put doubts in reader's minds about whether Tom's own trauma was leading him to see monsters where none existed, I almost never expected anything other than the revelation of a giant secret on the part of Amy and/or her family. It was more of a question of what was being hidden, and each detail that was revealed ruined my past theories. I finally ended up with a reasonably decent idea that almost fit all of the clues - it turns out that I was partly right, but things were more messed up than even I guessed. tom and his family have just moved into their “dream house.” but he notices some things are off - holes in the doors? drawing on the walls? the family who lived here before them moved just down the street. but why? and could digging into the history get tom into trouble? It is that we as readers get to hear that Tom is really 16, but otherwise I wouldn’t have believed it. If you compare it to other peeps around him who are the same age, or even 1 or 2 years old he just stands out. I felt like he, and also his friend, were more like 13-14. The way he talked/did things. Plus, again, while I understood his obsession with Amy and her secret, it just went too far. Too the point that I just couldn’t believe this was a 16 year old. I have been obsessed with things, I confess, but that was when I was younger. Flight director Leroy Cain asks if there is anything common to the sensors. Mr Kling says there is not, suggesting a general failure instead of a single system.
