Ret McCoy was always the new kid, but after three years in the small town of Riverton, he thinks his family may have finally settled. He and his friends have the perfect summer planned before they start sixth grade, and his new job at the local mortuary promises enough pocket money for all the sodas they can drink.

A dare from an older boy quickly ruins their plans. Everyone knows to stay away from the Crooked House, but after Ret and his friends take on the dare to spend the night in the abandoned house, they become caught up in the house’s dark history.

Later, an outsider buys the house. When people start to disappear, Ret is determined to solve the mystery before it swallows the entire town. His obsession with the Crooked House and its strange new owner threatens to put him and his friends in danger more terrifying than anything they could have imagined.


I received this ebook via Ebook Discovery to give an honest review.

You know this is a good book for teens as even though it had a few fighting with supernatural scenes there was nothing scary or bad language. We are introduced to Ret who plans to have a great summer with his friends but little does he know his great summer will take a dark turn. When dared one night to stay in the Crooked House it all goes weird from there. A ghost pops up, people start disappearing and then coming back only to be a really changed person. Ret knows it will be up to him and his friends to solve this mystery. Especially once one of his friends goes missing. Ret gets told multiple times not to interfere but how can he not. The house is calling to him to stop whatever evil is going on within those walls, but will he be able to. I really liked the mystery surrounding the house and how far Ret was willing to go to stop the evil brewing there. I would like to see another story about the things that are hidden within the house. I think this would be one book I would have my 12-year-old read as he may enjoy a bit of mystery, friends coming together and the supernatural. 








When Brett McKay is not conjuring demons and bloodthirsty psychopaths to put on paper, he sells landscaping. He loves all types of music, but hard rock and heavy metal fuel him the most. He enjoys the outdoors, spending time with friends and family, and curling up in front of a good movie with his wife and a bucket of popcorn.
Brett lives in Utah with his wife and two sons. Fall is his favorite time of year because he gets to decorate his house for Halloween much too early for his neighbors.

His short story, Ol' Betsy, was the winner of 2018's Seattle Crypticon. He is also an active member of The International Thriller Writers.
