It's happened to all of us. You've placed something you own on the kitchen counter or coffee table - a book, a spoon, something simple and easily overlooked. Then, in the next instant, it's not there, or it's been moved to a strange location. You could've sworn that you hadn't touched it but the part of your brain that dispenses rational thought tells you that you're being silly, of course you must've moved it there, you just weren't thinking about it at the time. This is the feeling that every single one of the victims in There's Someone Inside Your House experiences before their untimely demise. An oh there are a lot of untimely demises in this novel. Makani has just moved to Nebraska from Hawaii to live with her grandmother. She carries with her a troubling secret, but this soon takes the back burner once several of her classmates are viciously murdered one after another. There are plenty of suspects, one of them being Ollie, a boy whom Makani has a past with. Makani can't help but still feel drawn to Ollie despite the rumours circling him like buzzards. As the tension increases, and the murders get more and more grisly, Makani and her friends must try and figure out who is behind the crimes and why. I have some older teens (and this book is definitely for older teens) in the library that will love this novel. It has everything they are looking for in a novel: murder, kissing, murder, kissing, foul language and more murder. It's a quick, gory read with some good twists that teens will love.
