**All opinions stated in this review are mine and mine alone. I received Resthaven from Erik Therme for free for my honest and unbiased review**
Now, onto my review:
Ever read a book that is so creepy, so unsettling that it stays with you afterwards? A book that invades your dreams and gives you nightmares?
Well this is that book.
It starts pretty innocent. A sleepover at a new friend’s house. But then it turns pretty sinister when the new friend’s property back’s up against a nursing home that was abandoned and that new friend decides to throw a scavenger hunt in the nursing home.
When the doors to the nursing home mysteriously are padlocked, locking Kaylee, Sid, Anna and Wren inside with an elderly man who is insane, your pulse level goes up. And then when Kaylee finds a 5 year abused deaf boy in a closet, your pulse level goes through the roof!!!
I could not put this book down and read it in one sitting. Like I said above, it gets under your skin and you wonder what will happen to the girls and the boy at the end.
Speaking of the end, I really enjoyed it. Put it this way, Kaylee did the right thing. If you want to know more, read the book!!!
How many stars will I give Resthaven? 4
Why? It is a very well written, scary YA/Thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.
Will I reread it? Yes
Will I recommend to family and friends? Yes
Age Range: Teen on up
Why? No sex, minimal violence.
