303 Red Dead Lane by Jordan DeenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Synopsis:
Evil has a new address...
For over a century, evil has dwelled in the house on Red Lane, or Red Dead Lane as the locals call it. As one family after another meets with misfortune inside the aging
Victorian, it has fallen into disrepair. Forgotten. Waiting.
When the Maxwell family moved in, they were running from a long string of bad decisions. But their hope is quickly squashed by the evil. When police are summoned one summer night, all they find is violence and mysteries. Can they figure it out before the house kills again?
The Prestons hoped some distance would help their teenage daughter find her way out of trouble, but instead they wound up heaping it on. When a horrific crime leaves a fifteen year old girl facing a prison sentence, the truth can only make things worse for her.
The Lewis family made their living buying and restoring houses, but the sprawling manor house just might push them to their limit. Can they overcome the evil that has taken so many before them, or will they just be the latest victims.

My Thoughts:
This book wasn't bad but the first half kind of irritated me. The first half was all police reports, newspaper reports & psychiatric reports. Then there was an interview with the girl that survived from the 90s family. I wish the author had written the story of each family like the last one. The last one felt like a normal book where you got to experience what they experienced as it happened. All the other families' stories were only told through the newspaper, police & psychiatric reports. I really think this could have been a 5 star book had it been written in parts and each part follows a different family and their experiences. I loved the last section of this book following Meghan and her family but like I said it was the only part written like that. Overall, an ok book but the execution was lacking.View all my reviews
