Blurb from Goodreads:
Over
a year after her parents sent her away from Hawaii to live with her
grandmother in landlocked Nebraska, Makani Young is still adjusting to
her new life. She's made a small group of close friends and even flirted
with romance, but her past in Hawaii is still hard to forget.
And
then . . . one by one the students of her new high school begin to die
in a series of gruesome murders. Makani doesn't know who's next on the
list. Between this, and a secret scorching relationship with the school
weirdo, this school year may turn out to be one to die for . . .
literally.
My Review:
*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan*
Makani
Young used to live with her parents at Hawaii, but after an incident
they sent her to Nebraska to live with her grandmother.
Makani has made a small group of friends, but worries they will find out about her past.
Then students from Makani's school start being murdered in gruesome ways.
Who is the serial killer?
Who is the next victim?
Hmm. There's Someone Inside Your House was . . . underwhelming.
None of the characters really stood out for me. Makani was okay but I didn't feel like I connected with her.
The
plot was average. There were lots of deaths - more than I expected. The
killer was revealed halfway through which was unusual and I think this
took away from the suspense for me.
Makani's secret wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was expecting.
I wasn't a big fan of the romance.
The writing style was easy to follow but I lost interest once or twice.
Overall this was an okay but disappointing read.
