There's Someone Inside Your House is a ton of fun. It's a horror novel of the teen scream variety. Think Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legend — so, you know, a lot of '90s horror but set in present-day Nebraska. There's a mysterious killer with a motive, jump scares, teenage romance, sarcasm, and a lot of high schoolers dying in gruesome fashion. It's a blast, and pretty much unlike anything else in the YA section. Recommended By Jordan S., Powells.com
Synopses & Reviews
Scream meets YA in this hotly-anticipated new novel from the bestselling author of Anna and the French Kiss.
It’s been almost a year since Makani Young came to live with her grandmother in landlocked Nebraska, and she’s still adjusting to her new life. And still haunted by her past in Hawaii.
Then, one by one, the students of her small town high school begin to die in a series of gruesome murders, each with increasing and grotesque flair. As the terror grows closer and the hunt intensifies for the killer, Makani will be forced to confront her own dark secrets.
Stephanie Perkins, bestselling author of Anna and the French Kiss, returns with a fresh take on the classic teen slasher story that’s fun, quick-witted, and completely impossible to put down.
Review
"There’s Someone Inside Your House is a heart-pounding page-turner with an outstanding cast of characters, a deliciously creepy setting, and an absolutely merciless body count. Best read at night with big bowl of popcorn, this is a killer addition to the slasher genre written by one of the best contemporary YA writers around." Courtney Summers, author of All the Rage and Cracked Up to Be
Review
"Perkins lulls readers into a false sense of security before twisting the knife.... the body count keeps rising, leaving readers with questions of motive and where it will all end." Publishers Weekly
