Review :
Eerie, clever and darkly funny, We Live Here Now puts an entirely fresh spin on the haunted house novel. The twists are genius, the ending so satisfying - I loved it. Sarah Pinborough's best book yet.
'Genre-bending and cunning, We Live Here Now is a riveting modern Gothic, full of the clever twists and surprises that have become Sarah Pinborough's trademark. I'm a big fan'
'This book shows Sarah Pinborough at the absolute top of her game, I read the whole thing in a one day frenzy, and the twist blew my mind'
'Stunning. Shocking. Terrifying. You know it's coming, but you'll never guess what it is. We Live Here Now is a twisting, funny and frightening journey from calm to storm, from a dream right into a nightmare. I loved every page. No one tells stories like Sarah Pinborough'
We Live Here Now is a dark and twisted take on the haunted house mystery full of questionable characters and spooky happenings, but it's mostly a story of what happens behind the closed doors of a marriage and how secrets will ultimately break everything apart. Pacy, creepy and devilishly plotted, this is one to savour on a cold dark night.
Brilliantly chilling. It's enough to make you move into a new build and never want to leave.
All marriages have secrets. All houses haves have a past. But not like this one. This is Sarah Pinborough at her mind-bending best.
A modern gothic about a haunted house - and the haunted couple who move in. Clever, beautifully-written, and creepy. When you reach the gut-punching ending, you can imagine Edgar Allan Poe himself applauding.
I was instantly hooked by the weird and wonderful in this one. Original, spooky and full of twists - I loved it!
I love everything Sarah Pinborough writes, but I especially loved We Live Here Now. Sarah is an absolute master of cross genre fiction and this is definitely one of her best. Whilst the set up feels familiar, especially to fans of the horror genre, the execution and revelations are utterly original. Compelling, creepy, clever and unpredictable.
A seriously chilling, darkly atmospheric thrill ride. It's a haunted house story, and I loved the way the twists and turns played out, while also being genuinely I-would-rather-read-this-in-the-daylight terrified. So clever. So wicked.
A couple with their own secrets moves into a spooky old house and the result is a sinister, escalating ride that's part thriller, part horror and ALL an outstanding read from the master herself. I'm saying nothing more, except you NEED to experience We Live Here Now by Sarah Pinborough. Sheer terror in book.
A genuinely creepy haunted house novel that brings out the worst in its inhabitants and exposes their dastardly secrets. Sarah writes beautifully and the plotting here is second to none.
