“Ready or not. Whatever you do. The Hiding Boy is coming for you.”
Sixteen-year-old Nate Campbell grew up in the shadow of Murder Road – a street cursed by the vengeful spirit of the Hiding Boy.
Every few years, for nearly six decades, a different house on that street has been the scene of a tragedy.
Nate and his family move to a new town as they try to outrun the curse once and for all. But, when he is pulled into his new friends’ urban legend club, new ghost stories merge with old until there is nowhere left to run.
I have not been having luck with YA mystery lately. One House Left was definitely a book that I should have loved. Sadly, I didn't. I probably should have DNF'd it. But I wanted to know what was going on. In a nutshell the writing and pacing was very uneven. The first half was so slow. Then there is a big twist about halfway through and I will admit, I was very confused as to what was happening. I mean I was caught off guard, so there is that I guess. The issue was that I had no idea what the twist meant until toward the very end. Once it all was explained, I thought it was a clever twist. However, the ending ended up being predictable and cliche. So, it ended up being so-so for me. Maybe you'll like it more.
