I hated everything about this book. I’m so tired of the cancer and dead mom trope. Pick something else to make the plot move.

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I'm always very happy about an ARC and being able to give it a review! <3

Wow, the cover is just amazing and the blurb sounded very promising!

The story starts off a bit slower, but it quickly picks up speed. But I found the story to be a bit too long.

The characters were very well developed. I really liked Em and I would have loved to jump through the book and explore the property with her at night (especially the barn).

I just wish that someone or at least her husband had believed her more. Aren't we all tired with women being branded as totally untrustworthy?

Good ending. Good book.

Would definitely recommend it!

The first few chapters of The Farmhouse immediately grabbed my attention, but soon after I had trouble staying engaged. There was a lot of dialogue that felt superfluous and took away from the suspense. Unfortunately, it ended up being a DNF, but I would definitely try something else by the author to see if it's a better fit.

The story was pretty good, but this gets bumped down to a three star because I am so bored with the same old story in these thrillers of the husband not believing his wife and her accounts of bad things happening around them. It served ZERO purpose to the story aside from prolonging the conclusion of the story. I was really enjoying this one, but that ruined it for me. Super bummed!!

Josh and Emily relocate to a remote Nebraska farmhouse, hoping for a fresh start. But Emily becomes fixated on the barn, which seems to shift closer or further away in an unsettling, supernatural way. Disturbing discoveries and ghostly encounters reveal the dark history of the previous occupants: a woman who died tragically in the barn and a missing daughter whose fate remains unknown.
A horror read rich in tension and haunting imagery!

I thought that this was a good book. I enjoyed almost everything about it. The only thing that took me out of the story was the focus on running and the running journal. It really took away from the atmosphere of the story.
