3.5 stars 
 I struggled with how to rate this one because there are a lot of pros and cons. Ever since I first heard about this book - which was forever ago, at least a year - I've been anticipating it. Even though I've only read one of Perkins' other books (Anna), I remember really enjoying and I was intrigued by how different this genre was for an author that usually writes such fluffy romantic stuff. 
 I'm not good with horror. I avoid it like the plague, especially the movies. Books I have a slightly higher tolerance, but it's still not really my thing. I had heard beforehand that this one wasn't scary so much as it was bloody and filled with gore. I have to agree with that. I can't say that the story ever truly freaked me out, but that doesn't mean that the story itself wasn't thoroughly entertaining. 
 Perkins has a knack for creating endearing characters, and her writing is certainly a pleasure to read and easy to follow. I finished There's Someone Inside Your House in two days, which is unusual for me as of late, as I haven't been reading as much as normal and when I do it takes me much longer to finish despite being a quick reader. I enjoyed following along with Makani and her friends, and I can definitely appreciate the diversity of the cast. As for the romance, I wasn't incredibly crazy about it, but it was definitely very sweet. 
 I was surprised by how early on the identity of the killer was revealed. It seemed like there was still about a quarter of the book to go when we find out. (view spoiler)[And the reveal wasn't super satisfying as it turned out to be a very non memorable character that I couldn't for the life of me remember reading about before it was revealed. (hide spoiler)] 
 I wasn't thrilled with the reveal of Makani's big secret that she hints at throughout the whole story. (view spoiler)[She cuts off her best friend's hair. Said friend almost drowns afterward, it's true, but honestly I was very underwhelmed because her crime really wasn't that bad at all. (hide spoiler)] 
 I did like that (view spoiler)[Perkins killed off a semi main character, Alex, because at least not everyone got away unscathed. (hide spoiler)] I know it kind of sounds like I'm harping on all the negatives about the novel but overall I really did enjoy reading it and would definitely recommend checking it out if you're a fan of the author's other books.
