House by Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti

 

This is one oh my god book. A mix of horror and thriller. It makes want to know what's going to happen next. I will say this, I was surprised how this book started and went all the way through to the end. Plus, I've not read a book that brings evil and good together quite like this. 

Jack and Stephanie are trying to get to Montgomery. They end p lost and run into a cop. The cop asks them where their headed and Jack tells them. The cop gives them directions and the leave to follow. Down the road some distance from where they had come their tires are blown out from under them. 

Both, Jack and Stephanie are married but, have been having problems. That will just cause more problems with them in the long run. They begin to walk down the road, tell they say a house that says inn on a sign. Thinking that they can use the phone they head for the door. Once inside they meet two other people, Leslie and Randy. They tell Jack and her that the same thing has happened to them and they came upon this house. But, they haven't found a phone. 

After looking around some, they get surprised by finding out that there are three other people in the house. Betty, Stewart and Pete. To all four of them, these three seem a little odd. Boy, is that an under statement. Betty is creating dinner or it seems like that. When they sit down to the table, they realize that the food is crawling. After that, all hell breaks out. 

A few minutes later a can is thrown through the window and inside it, there's a note. It reads, ' Give me one body.' To the four of them its really weird. Randy asks Betty what's going on and she says, ' all sinners must die.' They all take off running. But, just before that. Betty worns them not to go into the basement. 

There is so much going on in this book. I can't give you to much. But, I need to worn you. This book will make you wonder if something like this could really happen and what the hell would you do in their place. Some of the decisions made will shock you and make you think, what the hell are they thinking. Read the book if you dare. 

Well, I'm off to start my next book. Remember to read a good book. You never know when the book might just change your life or who you are.
