The House Next Door

I'm 12 years old and I normally don't read this type of a genre for a book, but I could not put this book down the whole time I was reading it. This author gave a unique twist to each part of the story which made it an unputdownable book. It had me gasping at every turn this brilliant author took. This book did leave me with some questions, but it was all explained throughout the book, and I had no questions unanswered. The author was very discriptive and made you feel the character's emotions. This book was definintly fiction but still, as I was reading it, I found myself believing the fictional parts of the plot. I definitely recommend this book to anyone, even if they normally dont read this kind of genre.

the book was is excellent condition. loved it & a good read!!

A friend let me borrow this book. Said it was THE book that started her love if reading. So I gave it a try and enjoyed it. Not my favorite but still a good read!

I bought this book for my daughter and she was thrilled. I was very pleased with the delivery time. Even though it was returned to them, they notified me of the problem and tried again. I would recommend this seller to all my friends and family.

A romance mystery for sure! Thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Not my favorite style of writing. I like the author though and have been very happy with some of his other titles.

This book turned me off in the beginning, largely due to the use of a worn-out cliche. At one point I even wondered how RTC could salvage the story.But I plowed on, because of my faith in Cusick after reading Someone at the Door, and I'm so glad I did. The main characters were unique and I ended up adoring them all. The plot doesn't twist and turn the way some of her others do, (somewhat a relief, now that I've read The Drifter) but she still succeeded in pulling off a couple good twists and concluded the romance in such a meaningful way that I actually cried.I still think the story behind the romance could have been more unique, and I wish the reader had been given more time in the house next door and with its ghostly inhabitant. Also, the end kind-of bothered me. It wasn't a bad ending, but it left me a little confused and disappointed.Overall, this book is worth a read for Cusick fans, or for those who may not be familiar with her work but are interested in a haunting novel with a beautiful romantic twist.

Admit it! I'm sure you can think of at least one time in your life that you wish you could relive. You know,so that you could maybe change what happened and therefore change the reprecussions. Personally I can think up several occasions. In "The House Next Door" there lies a story within in a story (one of the many aspects that make this book such a good one), the inner most story is one of an undenying love and a tragic occurance. While the outer story is of a girl who some how gets entangled into this web of affairs. There is so much to be said about this book, but I won't summarize it for fear of giving away too much about the book. But Emma and her brother Charlie are twins that share this physic connection. Emma winds up spending the night at the house next door (which has been deserted for awhile)and while there she falls into the cellar. After falling into the cellar she wakes up only to find herslef as a girl named Emma but she knows it's not herself. To keep a long story short she wakes up from this mysterious but very real dream to find herself back in the cellar. Her brother Charlie comes running and finds her, but while in that dream Emma discovers part of a tragic event that took place almost a hundred years ago, dealing with a girl her age whose name was Emma too. Emma goes on a search to find out exactly what happened those hundred years ago, and because of their connection Charlie decideds to help out Emma. From there the story takes many twists and turns so that just when they thought they've figured it out they realize their wrong. The story leaves you guessing even until the very end. And it is written in such a way that you just want to keep reading, I mean you just won't be able to put down the book. In my opinion this was a book with an excellent plot and written in an excellent way. I hope I've convinced you to pick up this book, and see for yourself.
