JUST LIKE HOME is out TOMORROW!
Just Like Home will be in stores and in mailboxes and in e-readers TOMORROW and I absolutely could not be more excited!!
A week ago, I published a round-up of all the places you can purchase Just Like Home. I won’t take up space in your inbox by repeating all that information, but if you haven’t bought it yet or put it on hold at your local library, there’s still time! Click the link to find all kinds of places you can go to get your hands on the book.
If you’re wondering what it’s like to read the book, check out this review from The Nerd Daily:
My god, what a book. Just Like Home is an insidious book that crawls under your skin and rattles your bones. It poisons your dreams and clouds your senses, keeping you under its beguiling spell.
- Emily M
Just Like Home has also received starred reviews from Publisher’s Weekly and Booklist!
Delightfully creepy and heartbreakingly tragic, Just Like Home is equal parts raw terror of a dark childhood bedroom, creeping revelations of a true-crime podcast, and searing hurt of resentment within a family. It’s a must-read for all gothic horror fans.
- Leah von Essen, Booklist
