21 Windows

by Michael Lachance

A family moves into their first home with high hopes and happiness. Soon after, they find a painted over window and a hidden room behind that window. After they knock the wall in the pantry down, they find a hallway and the remnants of a boys bedroom complete with the bed & sheets, lamps, clothes, and toys from the 1950's. Days after, eerie and dark things happen in the home and to their children.

I won this title in a Goodreads Giveaway.

Each family member in this book is so realistic. They could very easily be the family next door. That was a definite breath of fresh air.

The supernatural spin was fantastic. I became immersed in that dark world; rooting for the family and that lost little boy.

Bravo.

Interesting premise, but I didn't care for the writing style. Most of the time characters don't speak in complete sentences and the author must have some kind of fascination with farting (especially when used as a weapon).

It's okay.

I won this book as a Goodreads giveaway

OMG.. This book just pulled me in!! I loved the story and the plots and the intensity of it.
It all starts when a family moves into this house and are excited to be in their new home. When mom is counting the number of windows to buy shades, when you counted inside the house and outside the number of windows did not match. This brings them to what and where is the room for that last window. I could not put this book down and I ended up staying up much to late cause I had to finish it. This was the first I have read from this author, but I am going to look for his other books now!

Loved the book!! This is the first book I read by this author. I found it to be increasingly engaging. The twists and turns and unexpected events throughout the story result in a read that it’s hard to put down. This was an excellent read that kept me on my toes from the first page to the last. I highly recommend this book.

DNF-- 5% This book has been on my list for a while. It has a good premise and I love horror. But what in the middle school hell was with all the fart jokes? Author's fetish? I couldn't get past it.

Alright, I won this ebook through the Goodreads Giveaways a WHILE ago and just got around to reading it. When I started I was immediately sucked into this world, this nightmare or a story. I mean that in the best way! It kept me so captivated that I finished this 340 page book in a day… I did not care too much for the writing style and the grammar and spelling error stuck out to me like a sore thumb. I very much loved this story and not only found myself openly gasping and feeling for this family but also for the little boy, Bjorn and his struggles as well.
Great premise and amazing story. Took a while turn at the end that I was not at all expecting and the actual ending was a bit weird and felt a bit rushed and last minute but man, that lead d up.. fantastic.

I don't normally read books like this. However, I started reading this book and it grabbed me and wouldn't let go. This book is amazing.
