Then he adds another layer and the story takes place over one evening in the dead of night adding to the horror that occurs during the home invasion.Ī young and crazy group of twenty somethings terrorizes the family torturing them one at a time. The house is a character in of itself along with the family living inside. He uses it as a tool to bring the story to life. He isn’t afraid to give us the map and worry we will hold him to it. Every room is described with such complete detail I could do a walk thru in my mind’s eye. The story moves from room to room with complete accuracy while feeling free-flowing. He didn’t just make it for the sake of having a cool ‘map’ of where the story be occur. Page one has the floor plan of the house. It may seem small but it let me know he has a complete grasp how to layout his narrative. This is the kind of book you start and don’t put down, well maybe for a bit of sleep but not much else.īrett McBean gave me something I really enjoy but don’t see often. This book not only met my expectation but exceeded them. I sat down thinking it would be a great read based on the synopsis and the words of just one review. This is one of those times I glad as hell I read an author I’ve not only not read before and one I’m not even familiar with. I’m an avid reader and the odds aren’t always in my favor. When I’m given the chance to read a new author I never know what I’ll find. Review copy provided as part of The Invasion blog tour.
