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 seventh 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 love coming of age horror stories especially ones that involve summer and haunted houses. Set in small town Utah about Ret and his gang of that are dared to sleep over at the crooked house. From there a little mystery ensues as they investigate the history of the house. The story ramps up the spookyiness as the try and solve it. The build up was excellent but ending was a little disappointing. A quick easy read that will appeal to young readers.

I enjoyed this book and the story. Our main character was a kid in the summer who was bored and like to do stuff with his friends. A strange man moves into the creepy house next door to him and weird stuff starts to happen like people missing, dying or changing their personalities all together.Without giving too much away, let's just say the end was confusing. I gave it three and a half stars (half star for Star Wars references)

This was an interesting read. To start with I wasnt sure but it picked up as the story went on. It's not my usual sort of genre but I find it worth the read. The ending was really good if kind of sad. It was lacking a little in detail and atmosphere but a good read despite that.
