About this ebook

The King family’s new house isn’t the only thing keeping secrets.

Pretending everything is all right when it’s not is harder than it sounds. The Kings know that even if they told the truth about the bizarre happenings in their new home, no one would believe them. They’re hyper-focused on rescuing their lost family member before anyone finds out what’s going on.

Then a stranger shows up to take the house, and their options start dwindling fast. Why is this man so interested in an old run-down place? And what secret is he hiding—beyond the scars that crisscross his body?

The mystery gets stranger with each passing day. Will the Kings find a way to harness the house’s secrets and discover who is watching their every move before someone else is snatched into an unknown world?

Ratings and reviews

This has been one of my favorite books so far. I got a little bit farther than where this copy ends then someone at school stole it from my back pack. So now I have to order a new one, but it won't come for at least a week. The suspense is killing me.

In the beginning of the book we are introduced to an Assyrian assassin and the old man who must get to the house to help the King family. The King children are terrified by the strange man who wants to force them out of their house. He knows too much about their mother and the house. He tries several methods of getting what he wants. The King children and their father must start school and behave as if nothing is wrong. This is made more difficult by an accident David has that breaks his arm. A suggestion to the doctor from the powerful man who wants their house and the doctor suggests that Mr. King is abusing his son. When all of this fails to get them to leave the house the stranger arranges to have the father arrested and the children removed. They are unsuccessful in removing the children. The old man introduced into this story has convinced his nurse to take him to the house so he can help because he knows the house.

The best book ever its creepy but amazing at the same time
