Title: The Night House
Author: Jo Nesbo
Genre: YA horror
Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. I’m a big fan of Jo Nesbo’s Harry Hole series, but I’ve never read anything outside of those. I know he writes other YA books, but when I found out he had a YA horror book, I knew I would be reading it.
What a fun book. Richard is a foster kid who tries to make friends. His first friend is eaten by a pay phone. His second friend turns into a cockroach. Clearly, something is going wrong in Richard’s world. No one believes him except his friend, Karen, who wants to help unravel the mystery. To say much more would contain major spoilers, but I will say the twists weren’t unique but they worked for me. I really enjoyed this book.
