A creepy book which gave me chills. I enjoyed this but at times I had to walk away from it and read something else. A new author for me and one I'll be reading more of. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

First I want to give a huge shout out to Storm Publishing for providing me an ARC via Netgalley!

This book was absolutely amazing! It was a roller coaster of emotions throughout the entire book! I could not put it down, I needed explanations and to know what happened. It was gut wrenching, compassionate, and thrilling. I was so invested in everyone's back story and all my predictions were proven wrong, which I love. Reincarnation is such a unique and kind of taboo subject, but Dunnett represented it in such a beautiful way. It was interesting and I enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommend!!

The only surprise was the reveal of the Dad’s plan at the beginning and the affair reveal at the end. Everything else was frustratingly predictable and had me waiting for a twist because it couldn’t possibly have been this obvious?

I really liked this book. It had me on the edge of my seat! I knew how the end would go, but I didn’t know why. There was a twist at the end that I absolutely did not see coming. Looking back on it, I still don’t know that I would have guessed it. It was so artfully done. Another thing I really enjoyed about this book was the structure. Dunnett employed an interesting strategy of starting at the end and having the entire book be an interrogation with flashbacks throughout. I was really impressed with how well the flashbacks were integrated. Flashbacks are easy to mess up or pull a reader out of the story, and this book did none of that. It was excellent. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future!

Huge thanks to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for sending me this ARC for review! All of my reviews are given honestly!

This was the first I've read by this author, but wow, I'll certainly be looking for more.
Great character development, with a slow buildup to a great ending that I could never have predicted. I would definitely recommend this book.

Paranormal reincarnation vibes! Kate's son swears he remembers his past life. By the way - he is FOUR! He shares stories from what he witnessed at the family lake house which leads Kate to dig in more.

I was engaged, fast paced - would read more from this author!

This is the perfect spooky season read! You have a child who knows things he shouldn't and is saying things he shouldn't. This book is fast paced like a thriller but a couple of times I found myself spooked. I love this book and highly recommend, it will make you think.

What happens when your toddler starts insisting that they are someone else entirely, your dead nephew to be exact?

The thriller opens up in the police interrogation room trying to get to the bottom of how a massive fire claiming 4 lives was started.

This one was twisty and convoluted and the characters had many layers. I really enjoyed that this story was told in the past by the means of explaining the tale to the cops. It brought us a number of layers and the officers asked the questions that a reader probably asks themselves while they are reading offering a way to have the questions answered that you are already asking.

Great book and will read more of Gregg Dunnett in the future.

The Lake House Children is a gripping and thought-provoking mystery, blending unsettling suspense with strong writing. Told through shifting past and present timelines, Gregg Dunnett skillfully keeps readers guessing, adding twists, family dynamics, and compelling character relationships. Dunnett crafts multi-dimensional, relatable characters that make the story feel strikingly realistic. The dark, suspenseful setting heightens the tension at every turn. Overall, this book delivers a fast-paced, twist-filled plot with authentic characters and a haunting atmosphere. It’s an ideal weekend read for those craving suspense with an emotional depth.

This was excellent.
The family was so believable and the stories from the child just drew me in.
This author definitely knows how to weave that creepy under lying tale in with modern day behaviour.
Really enjoyed this. Will be reading more of his work.

The Lake House Children is such a captivating thriller with shocking twists. I made the mistake of starting this book last night and couldn't put it down until I finished it this morning. I was sucked in from page one! I really loved this story. The FMC's son claims to have die and came back. I will not say more because I don't want any spoilers but this is a absolute must read! I have heard about these types of phenomenon's but never read a book that is written about it. It's so fascinating, the details added into the story, the storyline, characters, and the shocking twists made this one of my new favorite thrillers! This is the first book I've read from this author but hi, Hello you are now on my radar! I can't wait to get my hand on more of his books! 10/10 would recommend adding this to your TBR if you haven't read it yet!
