The Family Bones by Kimberly Raiser


Product Description
A New Home, A Loving Family, A Dark Secret
Will they stay? Will they survive? The Weavers have inherited family property in Astral, Pennsylvania, a town so small that Mrs. Weaver can find no mention of it on the Internet, save for a tiny spot on Google Earth. Hoping for a simpler, small-town existence for their young family, Steven and Tara eagerly head to Astral to see what they hope will be their dream house. As they explore their potential new home, the Weavers begin to discover secret passageways, secret rooms, and long buried family truths; some difficult truths are revealed and no longer kept in the far reaches of the closet. There are reasons for everything, and sometimes the explanations are so simple. But sometimes, simple can also be horrifying.


My thoughts:
When I started this book, I thought for sure this was a horror story. What with the title, what I thought was a haunted house, the underground tunnels, secret rooms and the family having what seemed like blackouts. I want to scream at the Weaver family to get out of the house they had inherited. What with the neighbors, the unknown uncle living on the property, I couldn’t put the book down with knowing what happened next. The surprise ending was creepier than I imagined. I look forward to another book by Ms. Raiser.
