Dream house . . . or bad dream?

When the Kings move from L.A. to a secluded small town, fifteen-year-old Xander is beyond disappointed. He and his friends loved to create amateur films . . . but the tiny town of Pinedale is the last place a movie buff and future filmmaker wants to land.

But he, David, and Toria are captivated by the many rooms in the old Victorian fixer-upper they moved into--as well as the heavy woods surrounding the house.

They soon discover there's something odd about the house. Sounds come from the wrong directions. Prints of giant, bare feet appear in the dust. And when David tries to hide in the linen closet, he winds up in locker 119 at his new school.

Then the really weird stuff kicks in: they find a hidden hallway with portals leading off to far-off places--in long-ago times. Xander is starting to wonder if this kind of travel is a teen's dream come true . . . or his worst nightmare.

Evaluate Regarding Books House of Dark Shadows (Dreamhouse Kings #1)

We all know the story. An urban family relocates to a rural town. The teenage protagonist is too cool for Hicksville. They move into a dark, secluded Victorian house that has been empty for decades and was last occupied by a family that disappeared under mysterious circumstances. They see and hear strange things, as the house seems to be alive. Well, this is just the beginning for the King family in House of Dark Shadows. Liparulo builds a fast-paced adventure on this age-old premise. His

WOW. This book really was just... Wow. It was great. It was a lot of fun. The characters were so awesome and life-like. It made me feel like I was a part of the family. It was pretty intense too, especially at certain parts. I love the brothership between Xander and David. It was so cute. You could tell that the big secret at the end was from the beginning, or at least I guessed it, but it was still a tense moment when the secret is officially revealed. Overall a great book. I regret waiting so

At the beginning of the book, before Chapter 1, you'll read a brief prologue that makes this seem like a horror story; if this is off-putting, keep reading. While this first book in the Dreamhouse Kings series is doing little but setting things up, the series is shaping up to be so much more than just a killer-loose-in-the-house horror story. There are portals to other worlds; there is adventure; there is even a little teenage angst.That being said, the horror bits are pretty spooky, the action

I would give this 2 1/2 stars if goodreads would let me. This wasn't a bad book. It was interesting suspensful and intriguing... howeever here is why it deserves 2 1/2 stars and here, with as few spoilers as possible is why.The book begins with a horrific nailbiter of a scene depicting the abduction of a woman in front of her family which has something to with the strange house they live in.From here on out I will be as unspecific as possible but spoilers will be present, so if you are

I first read House of Dark Shadows around when it released, but I've been wanting to reread it for a while now. I listened to it in audio this time and loved that. Even though I remembered the story pretty well, I still got freaked out by a certain scene and had to quit reading it at that time. The house was crazy and the creature... *shivers*All in all, a good read. I recommend it to fans of YA thrillers.

I knew just from reading the premise of this one that I would find much to love in House Of Dark Shadows. (Though the same could be true of reading the premise of 100 Cupboards by N.D. Wilson.) In this case, however, I was proven correct. I only have one bad thing to say about House of Dark Shadows---and that is that it is the first of a series. And the ending...well...it leaves you wanting more. But even that bad news has a silver lining, the sequel Watcher in the Woods is already available.

Nah not what I thought this book was going to be. Didn't connect with no characters. Parents especially dad didn't seem realistic. For there to be these secret rooms in to house going into crazy portals for the world. He's like telling Xander and David oh just don't go in there really. Hmm. SMH. Wasn't scary just plain weird.
