Skin Deep

Five Stories High #5

by Sarah Lotz

Irongrove Lodge gets under your skin, insinuating itself into your thoughts; whispering terrible things, demanding the ultimate sacrifice.

Malika and Robin believe that the house will be the fresh start they need, a real fixer-upper with ‘so much potential.’ When they discover a former resident’s old photo album, things began to change. Robin throws himself into renovating the Lodge, little aware that every change he makes is being revisited upon him tenfold. Robin is changing, and for Malika it may already be too late to save him.

Reviews

[Cait · Rating 4 out of 5]

a number of reviews noted this and tade thompson's entry as the best of the bunch, so they were the only two I sought out. this one may edge out over thompson's for me, even though I would have liked to have seen a slightly more gruesome or shocking 'reveal.' I may just be jaded, though, and the multinarrator thing really works and is used to fun end here. I would certainly read more by this author.

points for being maybe the first time I've seen "oo-er" in writing since the georgia nicholson books, and I do believe the first time I've seen "flousy" ever. right wots all this then, &c &c &c
