Published January 18, 2022 by Thomas & Mercer
A quiet neighborhood. A lovely home. A promising new beginning. In a heartbeat everything can change in this propulsive novel of suspense by USA Today bestselling author Kaira Rouda.
Julie Jones has left her suffocating marriage. With her teenage daughter, Jess, she’s starting over. Their new house in Oceanside is the first step toward a new life. Even if it does come with the unexpected. The previous owners, a pastor and his wife, have left something—or rather someone—behind…
Tom Dean has a bitter hatred for the father who considers him a lost cause, and for the woman who’s moved into their family’s house. The only home he’s ever known. He’s never going to leave. She thinks he’ll be gone in three days, but Tom has the perfect plan.
For a newly single mother and her daughter, a fresh start is the beginning of a nightmare. Before the weekend is over, somebody is going to get exactly what they deserve.
My thoughts about Somebody's Home ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)
First lines—"Somebody is in my home. I don't know what to do."
Ok, this starts out creepy enough, a stranger wandering around in the house. And then it escalades from there. We know it's going to get intense, we just have to learn how it gets to that point. Who is that stranger and what do they want?
All kinds of drama unfolds and the characters are in it deep. Good guys, bad guys, and everyone in between. I couldn't predict the outcome nor figure out who would be left standing. I love these kind of stories that keep me enthralled and guessing to the end.
Somebody's Home is a page-turning thriller that will suck you in and leave you breathless. I highly recommend it for an exciting read!
I received a copy of Somebody's Home via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
