Publisher's summary

The house on Old Mill Road has stood in an open field for longer than Jesse Wells has been alive, its crooked windows and jutting turret tormenting the kids of Warsaw, Michigan the way only a haunted house knows how. Everyone imagines that something terrible lurks within the house’s abandoned rooms - especially Jesse and his two closest friends, Casey and Reed. But when Reed chooses the house as a backdrop for his own suicide, childhood ghost stories are transformed into a nightmare that sends Jesse into a downward spiral of grief.

Nearly twenty years later, Jesse stands on the collapsing steps of the house that snatched away his best friend. Casey has asked him to revisit their old demons, if only to help them find closure that’s long overdue. But tragedy finds them once more, and Jesse is left forever changed.

Now, left to cope with the disaster that had become his life, Jesse must unravel the mystery behind the house that has terrified him since he was a boy. To fail is to lose everything he has left. But success might come at an even a higher price.

DNF. Quit halfway through. A slog.

Filled me with dread for all the wrong reasons. I liked a previous title by this author. This is headache inducing, uninspired tedium. The narration is equally bad. Free with Kindle, but still not worth it.

Couldn't wait for it to end.

The person who rated this a 5 must of been the author. This wouldn't have been bad if it had been a short story. This was just drawn out and dull. The protagonist is just an unsympathetic one dimensional character, Debbie downer in a book. The first 2 hours is when you get the story of the friends and what happened to them. Then it's just hour after hour of nothing. If you're thinking it might be like a King novel, it's not

Okay

It became annoying after a while the complaining and the repetition. Had to finish because I purchased and was hoping that the story would get better, unfortunately it did not

The Grammatical Errors

If I were this author, I would fire my editor. Then again, if I were this author, I wouldn’t have made the errors that she made. Poor grammar. Also, I did not like the narrator. He called the priest’s rosary beads “rosemary” beads. I searched the book to make sure that the author hadn’t made the error. She didn’t. Once I heard the first grammatical error, it was hard to stay focused on the story. It was actually a fairly decent plot, but I just can’t get past errors. It kind of dumbs down the story. I’m disappointed because someone from TikTok recommended this book. This author wrote Brother, and I really liked that book. It was well-written and had a good storyline.

Horror fans!

This is pretty darn good - after reading a ton of crap books, this one was entertaining and actually scary!

Good Story Overall

The plot is complicated and interesting which makes the mystery even better. The characters seem real and the detail is great.

My first Ania Ahlborn

This book wasn't for me, but I was determined to give it a chance. I'd heard great things. It was definitely well-written, had round characters, a plot that moved cleanly from point to point, and a fairly visual setting, but for some reason I just couldn't get into it. The pace never grabbed me. It didn't seem to offer anything fresh to the genre. However, it would definitely be worth a read if the reader hadn't already read widely in the genre, and it could be a very good jumping off point if a reader was looking to research haunted house fiction, or just wanted a small town haunted house book published fairly recently (2019). It's possible my problems immersing were due to being all haunted housed out at the moment. I'll certainly revisit this book later to see if it grabs me differently on a second read and update my review and rating if that should be the case. In some ways I found IF YOU SEE HER nicely reminiscent of Stephen King's 'SALEM'S LOT.

///Spoiler///
Both books focus on growing mental instability surrounding horrors witnessed at an old house, there's a malevolence that haunts/dwells the spaces where these horrors occur, there are relatable moments of small town life which nicely offset the building horror, and with both books it doesn't end well for the love interest.
///End Spoiler///

The similarities aren't derivative in a bad way, rather it felt a like a lovely homage to King's work. And, of course,

///Spoiler///
there are no vampires in Ania Ahlborn's novel.

3 stars with the potential of a higher rating at a later read-through.

overall enjoyed

I found myself highly interested and then the writing would lag and become dull, only to thankfully pick up and become exciting again. the ending felt like a fantastic buildup in a song followed by a failed drop that left you confused with your increased adrenalin coursing through your body trying to find a release! however, I did find that I enjoyed this book overall and that it was able to keep my attention during the down times...but the last 17 minutes.....disappointing

I wish the author did not write an epilogue as it detracted from the story or that since he did...he would have written it with more meaning, purpose, energy, and an intrigue with the ending. I wish the author would have delved more into the origin and reason for the evil that abounded and spent more time with the priest.

5 STAR AHLBORN STORY 3 STAR NARRATOR

Wow, this story is really good: the narrator- not so much. he is just too indifferent as a reader for a book that is chilling to the bone suspenseful: a book that definitely requires various levels and alterations of voice. This is not the guy for such a master of horror, an elite of the pen- Ania AHLBORN!! Its worth the credit, trust me,, I wish I had been prepared for the narration before I listened: would have made it a much better experience I believe!
