Review: The House by Christina Lauren

Delilah and Gavin’s new love is threatened by a force uncomfortably close to home in this haunting novel from New York Times bestselling duo Christina Lauren, authors of Beautiful Bastard.

His shirt is black, jeans are black, and shaggy black hair falls into his eyes. And when Gavin looks up at Delilah, the dark eyes shadowed with bluish circles seem to flicker to life.

He lives in that house, the one at the edge of town. Spooky and maybe haunted. Something worse than haunted. And Gavin is trapped by its secrets.

Delilah and Gavin can’t resist each other. But staying together will exact a price beyond their imagining.

Shelly’s Review:
I’ve been in a book slump and this story was able to break the streak. I’ve never read anything by this author but have heard good things from several book friends. This is a YA story which I’m very picky about and it was able to hold my attention. I really enjoyed the plot and the whole supernatural element to this story. I’ve never read a book like this before and it was refreshing and kept me interested the whole time. The only slight issue I had was was with the male narrator. His voice didn’t sound like a teenage boy and at times it threw me off. The female narrator did a good job with coming across as a teenage girl. If you like YA books with a supernatural/paranormal element this book is for you!
