Mercy House by Adam Cesare was a great book. I don’t know the last time I read a horror book because I am always scared that they will freak me out because I can’t even watch scary movies with out them freaking me out but I didn’t want to put this book down until it was done. There were parts that got to me and made me scared but since that is the point of this genre I really did enjoy this book. I loved the authors writing and how well this book was written. I did love that this story was set at a nursing home because as someone of you know I used to work at one and this book brought me right back to those years and I think it made this story even more really because I could put myself in the situation and pretend like I was one of the characters. I love when you are able to put yourself in a story because it makes it even more really. If you love horror novels that I would for sure recommend this book to you.

Yet even Harriet must admit that her mind becomes clearer as soon as she crosses the threshold. If it wasn’t for that annoying smell.

Little does he know that his greatest nightmares are still ahead of him.
Sarah Campbell is an idealistic nurse whose compassion has been stretched to the breaking point at the chronically understaffed facility that is Mercy House.
