Home Is Where the Bodies Are | By Jeneva Rose


Three siblings reunite after the passing of their mother. Beth is the oldest and cared fo
r her mother until the end. Nicole's drug addiction has caused issues resulting in distance between herself and her family and Michael fled their small town to live in California. 

When Beth, Nicole and Michael are reunited things start off tense and odd but when they come across an old VHS tape and watch it an unexpected clip forces them to confront their past. The clip shows their fathered cover in blood and a dead body. They recognize the dead body as a girl who went missing during their childhood. They need to decide what they are going to do with this information. Take it to the authorities or hide it.

The story is told in multiple point of views which creates tension and keeps you guessing. There is a level of predictability and while I figured it out it didn't take away from the story and the clever writing of the author.
