One of my goals as a librarian is to read from a variety of genres so that I can be informed when I recommend books to students. There's Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins is a type of book that I do not normally read. One might call it horror, but it reminds me most of a slasher movie.
Makani Young has just moved to Nebraska from Hawaii in order to escape her past. One day her classmate Haley was discovered murdered in her home. The small town and high school were heartbroken, but when the second victim was found the town found itself seized with fear. Subsequent murders occur each with increasingly gruesome results. Makani and her friends find themselves trying to figure out who might be next.
This book isn't just blood and gore. There is an element of romance as Makani grows closer with Ollie, the policeman's little brother. Readers cannot help but root for the pair as they try to survive small town Nebraska with a teen serial killer on the loose. The mysterious killer and the mystery of Makani's past will motivate readers to keep reading towards the answer.
This is a great book for fans of horror movies.
