WOW!  This story line is exceptional!  It grabs you by throat and keeps you there for the duration.

Who know from the very first page who the antagonist is ... a girl named Poppy.  The real question is WHO is Poppy and WHY is she doing what she's doing.

Will and Carla have been happily married for 19 years. They have a daughter, Libby, who is 18 and pregnant. Libby and her boyfriend are on a mini-vacation and Will and Carla will be celebrating their anniversary in just a few days.

When Will gets a phone call in the middle of the night,  all their lives are forever changed. Someone has kidnapped their daughter and set up a kind of scavenger hunt that Will must follow in order to save his daughter.  He is sent to different houses in Florida to find things that belong to his daughter...and he must get to those houses before the police do.

The first house holds four dead bodies ... and it just gets more bizarre from there.

I kept wanting to flip through the pages to see what was coming, but couldn't because I needed to see what was happening now!  The author does a fine job in sustaining the suspense.  The ending was quite unexpected.

5 Stars!

My thanks to the author / NetGalley / Angry Robot / Exhibit A who furnished a digital copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

I rented this movie today thinking it was going to be bad because of the poor ratings here.  Well, it made me jump several dozen times, even made me yip and scream.  I had to cover my eyes a few times.  I watch alot of horror movies and this was very frightening without all of the blood and guts.  The plot was okay and tied in with the first movie.  The ending had a very odd twist.  I liked it alot and won't forget the imagery and shock value anytime soon.

This was so much scarier than I expected! The actors were perfectly cast. I don't want to give any of it away just watch it.

A very scary little book. Well-rounded characters and an engaging story line where a menacing evil in the closet and a creepy, old man terrify a little boy and young couple. Takes a childhood fear and makes it real in adulthood. The enthralling ending really got me! Left me unable to fall asleep. A must for horror fans!

I am slowing becomes a huge supernatural horror fan. The Possession of Cassie Quinn just reminds me of why I fell in love with this type of book. Honestly this book just totally freaked me out and made me have goosebumps most of the way through. So if your like me and like a good scare than I would definitely read this one but be sure to keep one eye open when you sleep. I know I did.

As the book begins we learn that Cassie's Mother has just gotten remarried to a man named Dave and is now stuck with a new step-sister, Ashleigh. Cassie and her little sister, Andie are forced to move away and live in a large house in the country with her new family. Cassie just wants to be done with the move and carry on with her now fractured life the best she can. Cassie begins having frightening and confusing dreams about something that happen in the house years ago. She'll find out that the house holds many secrets, ones too dark to be told. So when things become even weirder for her upon moving it she is all but happy.  In her bedroom she receive terrifying messages that is from beyond the grave. LEAVE! Someone or "something" does not want Cassie and her family to live there. With no one to turn to she begins to make friends with the local kids and discovers they are the key to finding out what really happen and what she can do to end this. But finding the truth may end up killing her or..... worse!

No spoilers there because I don't want to give away any of the good scary parts. I must say I was very surprised but how amazing the story was. I love a good scare but this just has me looking over my shoulder for a week after. The Author Kathryn Knutson really did a excellent job at making the me feel like I was right there with Cassie while the events were taking place around her. Cassie is a strong female protagonist and reading from her POV was much more thrilling than it would have been from a 3rd person POV. The book was short read but all the more reason to want to reach the end. The last few pages I found to scare me the most and was definitely a conclusion I was not suspecting.

The one and only thing that I did not care for was the pace of the book. I found myself stopping and coming back a lot. While the author's writing was very edgy and predominant it got a little choppy at times during the book. Other than that I would say I truly enjoyed the book and would love to read the next installment.

The Possession of Cassie Quinn is a beautifully hunting tale. A thrilling ride from start to finish. A MUST read for all supernatural/horror fans. This book left me with the chills long after the last page.

Set the mood first, Popcorn, something to drink, maybe a storm going on, and either really dim lights or none at all! Then sit back and enjoy the show.

The acting was not the best in the world but overall it was good. I really enjoyed the story line and the special effects, It really "creeped" me out. So that definitely hit the scary mark for me! I loved the movie and would recommend it to anyone is loves a good scare especially during the scary season.

I've only been scared by two movies in my lifetime... "The Exorcist" and "The Strangers."

A couple scenes were predictable but I still nearly jumped off the couch.

I highly recommend this "terror" film.

From the beginning I was drawn in by the prose. This is the second book I've read by Mr Ibsen and suffice it to say  my library is now full of all of his books. Anyone who has read my past reviews knows I don't talk about the book itself much. Ambrose Ibsen has given me nightmare fuel to last even as I start his next one, which is now. If you want to be scared, but maybe reminded of home or college or places you've been, read this book. Fair warning, I had to quit reading twice because I got scared so bad. That has never happened to me since Ghost Story by Straub or the bathroom scene in the Shining. Mr Ibsen is this century new horror author to watch. If you haven't read his work I BEG YOU to. You will be happily terrified !!

I've seen many houses in my short life, and none have scared me so much as this one. I bought this series for my mom for Christmans and wound up reading it before she could even start it. It keeps you pulled in and the danger that this family puts themselves in just keeps you on the edge of your seat.
READ THIS SERIES!!!

Beware ordering books in paperback from amazon though. This came with a krinkled cover and seemed a little used although ordered new.

The first movie that made me scared sick, was The exorcist! And so it was for many years! Then I started watching the series of "Twin peaks" and my perception went flying! That alone was enough..(If you've watched the series you can understand why, the series was awesome)."Fire walk with me"! This is one of the scariest and most disturbing movies I've seen by far! I don't scare easily anymore...lol...but this)? The "Bob" character,her father,the one armed man, the tall man, the midget...etc. and the list can go on! the ending of it is so crazy, that it will leave you thinking for a long time! It's sad and very creepy! You do learn to love Laura's character, which makes it even harder to see the end! One of my favorite movies, and directors, David Lynch! To see his movies and understand them and "HIM"...now that...is another story"!
