Something in the Walls starts off strong. There’s a creepy kid, a mysterious town, and just the right amount of unease. I was hooked in the beginning and really thought this one was going somewhere dark and twisty, but somewhere along the way, the tension kind of fizzled out. The ending didn’t live up to the buildup, which was a letdown. Still, it’s got a solid atmosphere and a spooky premise that kept me turning pages for a while.

Thank you to Daisy Pearce, St. Martin’s Press, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
