Malice House by Megan Shepherd

4.0

The synopsis of Malice House really intrigued me, but the story was so much more enthralling than I initially imagined! The characters were well written, the monsters eerie enough to leave my skin crawling. Let's not forget the many small twists that were successfully embedded in the story. I cannot wait to read the sequel!

Haven moves into her late father's house, trying for a fresh start when she stumbles across a hidden manuscript locked away. It's unlike anything her father had written before, a collection of interconnected short horror stories Bedtime Stories for Monsters. Intrigued by the stories and characters her father created, Haven begins to illustrate the characters with the intention to find someone interested in publishing a posthumous father-daughter collaboration. When things begin to go bump in the night and murdered individuals turn up in town, their murders strangely connected to her father, Haven believes that she may have drawn the monsters to life.

Not only does Haven have to fight the monsters under her bed, but she also has to face the people in town with an odd fascination with her father that she can't seem to get away from.
