Here I thought October was the spooky month! The September House was a total shocker! I thought I had things figured out in this gripping and unpredictable book! But Carissa Orlando pulled the rug out from under my feet. I found this book to be hard to put down, gripping, shocking, original, and well thought out!

Margaret and her husband Hal were happy to find a Victorian Home at an affordable price. It was going to be their home sweet home, until it wasn’t. Soon they discovered that every September the walls were dripping blood, and the home’s former residents haunted the place. I would have run faster than the Flash to get out of there, but not Margaret. She is not going to let one month of mayhem get in the way or her enjoying her home!

Wowza! I was haunted by this stunning debut! I loved the sense of unease, the atmosphere, the tension, the mounting sense of dread and danger that flowed throughout this book. The September House is the perfect book to read in October when the nights are dark and chilly.

I enjoyed the mixing of horror, mystery, family drama, and supernatural elements. If you don’t mind a spooky read, this book may be right up your alley. I love a good horror book, and this hit the spot quite nicely!

Creepy, gripping, dark, well written and hard to put down!
