We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer

4.0
Uh… what?! I thought I knew where this was going at like 30% in, then thought I knew where it was going again at like 50% in, and then gave up trying to guess what was happening after that. It was like a haunted house story, body switching, portals, different dimensions, maybe an evil entity, and a psychological thriller all at once, which made for a freaky time but also I’m unsure if all of these pieces worked together. I leave this book with way more questions than answers, which has made it very fun to think about but also I might lose my mind not knowing exactly what happened to Eve. And just in case you’re nervous, the dog is fine by the end of this book (I was very nervous lol)! I might revisit this rating and review in a bit after sitting with it, but it was genuinely pretty scary, if a bit open ended.
Graphic: Violence, Forced institutionalization, and Injury/Injury detail
