Keep It In the Family by John Marrs

 

Keep It In the Family by John Marrs - 369 pages


Mia and Finn are busy turning a derelict house into their dream home when Mia unexpectedly falls pregnant. But just when they think the house is ready, Mia discovers a chilling message scored into a skirting board: I WILL SAVE THEM FROM THE ATTIC. Following the clue up into the eaves, the couple make a gruesome discovery: their dream home was once a house of horrors.

In the wake of their traumatic discovery, the baby arrives and Mia can’t shake her fixation with the monstrous crimes that happened right above them. Haunted by the terrible things she saw and desperate to find answers, her obsession pulls her ever further from her husband.

Secrecy shrouds the mystery of the attic, but when shards of a dark truth start to emerge, Mia realizes the danger is terrifyingly present. She is prepared to do anything to protect her family—but is it already too late?


Holy crow is this book good!  I'd heard about this book on different forums and was glad to finally read it.  I loved how this was written, with multiple character points of view.  It was non-stop from beginning to end, and I really loved how this ended!  It's not gory (there is one small part where someone cuts his own throat, but it doesn't go into detail) but it does involve children being killed if that's a trigger for you (again, doesn't go into detail).
