As someone who watched Hill House before reading the book and then was disappointed by the book, Something in the Walls filled that void for me. Atmospheric, dark, heart-pounding, mystery, with some *alleged* hauntings (no spoilers here).

The only reason this isn't getting 5-stars from me is that the some of side plots felt forced and a little unnecessary for the overall story. But overall, I couldn't put this book down and stayed up way too late reading it and definitely recommend it (pub date 2/25/25).

I was a little worried going into this after seeing some of the more negative reviews but I have to tell you, it's absolutely worth the read. I think many of the lower rated and send reviews mentioned the audiobook, so maybe avoid that medium and get a physical copy instead!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
