About the Book

A house at the end of a wet road, every light burning, and no good reason for it. Daddy’s Home opens the Holly Jennings series in the place thrillers are most dangerous — the family home — and turns a phrase every child once ran toward into something you dread hearing. A.K. Alexander builds the tension out of ordinary things: a porch light, an empty mailbox, a door that should have been locked.

Book Review By Books Paradise

A.K. Alexander knows that the most frightening room in a thriller is the one you grew up in. Daddy’s Home is relentless, well plotted and genuinely uncomfortable in the best way.
