Resumen del Editor

"...it’s compulsively listenable. That’s thanks in part to Sands’ intense narration, whether she’s playing the inscrutable Vera or her wretched mother asking for yet another glass of lemonade." -Vulture

"The audiobook narrated by Xe Sands is a genuinely nail-biting listen." - Buzzfeed

"Gailey wisely unfurls this story at a delightfully excruciating pace. Accompanied by Sands’s versatile narration, this is a captivating listen."- Library Journal

Just Like Home is a darkly gothic thriller from nationally bestselling author Sarah Gailey, perfect for fans of Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House as well as HBO's true crime masterpiece I'll Be Gone in the Dark.

“Come home.” Vera’s mother called and Vera obeyed. In spite of their long estrangement, in spite of the memories — she's come back to the home of a serial killer. Back to face the love she had for her father and the bodies he buried there, beneath the house he'd built for his family.

Coming home is hard enough for Vera, and to make things worse, she and her mother aren’t alone. A parasitic artist has moved into the guest house out back and is slowly stripping Vera’s childhood for spare parts. He insists that he isn’t the one leaving notes around the house in her father’s handwriting… but who else could it possibly be?

There are secrets yet undiscovered in the foundations of the notorious Crowder House. Vera must face them and find out for herself just how deep the rot goes.

Loved the development!

Initially I struggled to get into this book due to the heavy use of metaphors but it took such a dark twist as it went that I’m glad I stuck with it! Tense relationships mixed with just the right amount of fantasy and real human depravity. Narrator was excellent!

Satisfied listener here

If you are looking for a really scary story, this is not it. But if you are looking for a good story that is a little creepy, I recommend this. They couldn’t have chosen a better narrator.

Gothic Lit, but the scariest part…

…is the authentic and very real narrative of being born to unhealthy people. This was just a really wonderful read and a strong performance. Highly recommend for fans of the gothic genre and the turn of the screw.

Different than expected

Very slow to start. I almost gave up a few times honestly. That being said, I was intrigued by the ending. I thought it was a refreshing change and an ending that I wouldn’t have been able to guess if I had tried. Narration was spectacular (big Xe Sands fan.)

A slow burn but a very good one

I was debating on whether I should finish this, but I am so glad I did. Sarah Gailey is a very indulgent writer, so it takes some trudging to get through the story with her flowery language. The narrator was amazing and kept me engaged completely. This is definitely worth a listen!

Loved loved loved

This ending won't be for everyone but this is some of the most creative writing I've ever seen. Tensions build to a payoff that I found very worth it. If you are tired of the same troupes in horror this is a fresh read.

Good until the very end

I am so disappointed this ending really blew. I thought this was actually going somewhere interesting and then all my hopes squashed in the last 20 pages

Must listen

Chilling, thrilling, and a genuine new plot. Not just some rewritten horror story, a good deep plot with a surprising ending.

well I didn't hate it

I can't say I loved this story. I honestly only bought it because of the narrator, Xe Sands. It was very Stephen King-esque story, and i love that man too. I think would recommend.

Not my favorite

I’ve read quite a few true crime and suspenseful novels and based on the description and cover I was so excited to read this book. But the plot twist dropped the ball for me and I became so disinterested by the end. I started out with a physical copy of the book and had to finish using audible simply to get through it but the end was so unfulfilling and like others have said, there was no resolution anywhere.
