Review: House of Dark Shadows

House of Dark Shadows by Robert Liparulo

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Robert Liparulo’s House of Dark Shadows will draw you in and leave you checking your doors for parallel worlds.

When the Kings move into a new home in a new town, the house seems odd a first; but things get really strange when they realize that some of the rooms are portals to other worlds. The Kings face terrifying dangers within the rooms of their home, but it still seems like an adventure until people start coming out of the rooms and into the house. When one of the intruders kidnaps their mother, they must find a way to rescue her, but who would believe such an unbelievable story? The King family begins their search, quickly realizing that they need to learn more about the other worlds to find their mother. While searching for their mother, they also pretend that all is well at home. When a stranger shows up to try to force them to sell the house, their desperation reaches new heights.

I really enjoyed this book and often times couldn’t put it down. I’ll admit the beginning was a little slow for my taste, but then it pulled you in and left you wanting more. This is a great read for teenagers and adults alike.
