Check Out Girl In The Walls Formulated By A.J. Gnuse Distributed In Electronic Text

is soooo clever, sooooo original, soooo extraordinary! I havent read something so remarkable, refreshing, outrageous but also intense, dark, thrilling and emotional at the same time!

I havent gotten so much tensed for a long time! I think after gritting so hard, my teeth can fall down at any second! Im so scared to move from my couch! My husband dearest acts like he didnt hear my scream for help! actually I cannot form any words because not only my blood but also my vocal cords are frozen! I cannot make a sound!

Okay! This book is about survival and grief but the tension the author meticulously built scare the living daylights out of you! You feel like watching A Quite Places longer version alone in the dark over and over again!

The plot line is so clever, bizarre, mind spinning! It also gives you Bong Joon Hos Academy Award winner screenplay “Parasite”!

Poor little Elsie becomes orphan after losing her family at a traffic accident, starts living in the wall of the house once they lived as a family.


But now another family of four moved to this place: The Masons: Nick and Laura: the parents, Eddie and Marshal are two sons.
The brothers are not in good terms! Their characteristics are quiet unique and they cannot meet in the middle, pushing away each other!

On the other hand, Elsie keeps looking for traces left behind her family, living like a ghost, making noises without getting attention of the houses inhabitants.
Talking to her one eyed friend Odin, squeezing tighter, sensing the upcoming storm!

Thankfully she knows the dodgy floors, scraps help her move without being noticed! But the brothers finally sense her existence and they bond a partnership to do something about it.


The most terrifying thing about this book was not the brothers or threatening tropic storm! It was actually the house truly horrifies us.
It is eerie breathing, functioning organism! Even the trees seem like alive, watching each move of the characters, waiting for the right time to attack!

Overall it was perfectly written, haunting, gripping, shocking novel with well developed characterization! Im so sure this is gonna be one of the most fascinating reads of the next year which I highly recommend ! I havent read something freaking good for a long time! Its a big winner for me!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Ecco for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions.
Esperaba una novela gótica con fantasmas y casas que crujen y me dan una historia muy aburrida, con un estilo de escritura muy descriptivo, personajes infantiles y sin desarrollar, y muchas preguntas sin responder.

Decepción total. So good, a very special and touching story, I can empathise with the girl in the walls forreasons,
, When I ask my husband to help bring out the dishes after dinner, I swear he cant hear me and like the girl in the walls I am living in a parallel universe in silence with its other inhabitants.
Until the dishes are cleared that is
, When I put my favourite chocolate flake bar in the fridge to cool and find it missing, Id swear there is more than us living here in this house, but when things go bump in the night, its not Elise, its my husband raiding my chocolate stash.


The Girl in the Walls is a ghostly story about a little girl who is orphaned following the death of her parents in a tragic car accident and returns to the only place she can call home except she is not a ghost.


The Mason's with their teenage sons Eddie and Marshall, move into the house Elise grew up in with her parents, This starts the journey about a young girl learning to live alongside the Mason family undetected but the more she gives away and mistakes she makes the less safe she will be.
“Because eventually everything that is hidden will be found”

There is an everpresent sense of the inevitable and likely detection of Elise living in the Mason's house.
The story is atmospheric and charged, the sense of loss is palatable, and the development of the characters and story of their meeting is really nice.


I had hoped to start spooky season and a promise to myself to read more horror / ghostly stories until the end of October, but although the cover suggests ghostly it was not.
Nevertheless I have to rate according to what the book was, but whatever it was just did not grip me unfortunately,

A nice and different story, but not believable at all to think an orphaned girl can run away from foster care and live in the walls or under floorboards in a house for any period of time unobserved.
Of course, I love fiction and sometimes the ridiculous but, in this case, it felt too farfetched, so I just rushed through it,.Girl in The Walls A, J. Gnuse Louisiana

This is a book that I thoroughly enjoyed, To say that it was “strange” and “disquieting” would be an understatement, . . but yet the author of this debut novels has done a brilliant job of creating plausible and unforgettable characters, The story follows elevenyearold orphan Elise, as she hides within the walls of her former family home, . . watching the houses new residents, the Masons, as they carry on with their lives, I know that this sounds creepy, . . Elise is anything but. Shes intelligent resourceful perceptive and kind. Your heart will ache for her as you follow her story and watched her try to deal with the loss of her parents, A perfect read if you are fan of gothic fiction or if you are just looking for something a little different, For the sake of this review, Im going to assume youre sitting indoors, Now, for the sake of this review, youre going to assume theres somebody hanging out inside the wall behind you,

Creepy, huh Well thats the premise of Girl in the Walls, Theres literally a little girl living in the walls of a house, Nothing paranormal here! Thats important to note, as your enjoyment of this book may largely depend on your expectations, Looking for a ghost Turn on “Ghost Hunters” instead,

If youre looking for a thriller, you may be a bit disappointed too, While there is a fair amount of suspense in the final half of the story, Girl in the Walls is more a literary fiction novel detailing how an orphan could succeed in dwelling in a home for months without its actual occupants sensing her presence.
Eventually of course

they do, and their attempts to root out their uninvited roomie is where the pages really start turning,

I loved the premise of the book as well as the authors writing style, I did have to suspend disbelief to really embrace the story, but you better believe Im going to be paranoid the next time some raisin bran goes missing around here.


My thanks go to the author and Ecco Books for my gifted review copy provided via NetGalley, Girl in the Walls is now available,

Blog: sitelink confettibookshelf. com/ What a sweet poignant read, . . this reached deeply into my emotions even though it is a comingofage tender story, . . definitely a recommended TBR.

This poor little girl, Elise, lives fearfully inside of her former home after her parents were tragically killed in a car accident, After being placed in foster care, she slips away to find safety and security in the only place she was ever happy, The uncanny part is she is inside the walls trying to be as inconspicuous as possible because there is another family living inside of her home.


As she slips in and out of rooms from within the walls, she is able to extract scraps to eat under the radar until two boys begin to see a young girl from their peripheral vision which creeps them out.
and me too . that she is going to get caught, The boys set out to catch the intruder which is an incredible part of the story and her cleverness to remain hidden,

Even the house comes alive, as well as the mythology she reads and imagines the characters watching over her, This is a sweet, sad emotional read all wrapped up together as she connects with the home and her love for her family igniting and making this a touching momentous exchange.
Highly recommend .
Thank you for this ARC, NetGalley, in exchange for my honest review, "Girl in the Walls" by A, J. Gnuse is an unexpected surprise read for me!

Elise is an orphan, Her parents died in a car accident, she survived, Placed in a foster home, she leaves through a window during the night and is never seen again,

Elise is home now, Living in the house her parents made for her, the one she knows best, A home where she feels safe, She knows the hidden places like no one else does, Sleeping beneath the flooring she helped her father lay in the attic, navigating through the walls and hiding in all the secret places, Elise is happy to be home!

But, there's another family living in this house now, The Mason family. Eddie, the youngest, ignores what he thinks he sees out of the corner of his eye, Older brother, Marshall can't and won't ignore what he hears or the possessions he knows are missing, He has to do something, He wants whatever it is, whoever it is, gone, Somewhere. Anywhere. Now.

Marshall can't tell his parents, He's tried. They won't listen. He thinks he's found an answer though, But, is the help he seeks more dangerous than what's hiding in the walls Is the help more than Marshal or Eddie asks for or expects

And, how does a child cope with the loss of her parents Does going back to the home where you felt closest to them, keep you safe And, if so, for how long and at what risk

First of all, I have to say the author's writing style in this book is lyrically beautiful.
His story is creative and I am envious of his imagination, The 'creep factor' as the thriller genre kicks in has me listening to the sounds in my own home, "Time to put the book down for the night, Terrie"!

The brief chapters, individually titled and aptly described, were one of my favorite aspects of this book.
I felt like I was being taunted to continue, lured further along in the story, I had a hard time stopping and putting this book down!

I love the premise, the author's creativity and the beautiful writing, As I write this review, it also occurs to me that perhaps the designed ending was intentional by the author, A deliberate reflection of the calm after a storm, so to speak, I don't know and I won't tell, but I did love that, too,

This felt more character driven than thriller or suspense driven to me, My heart ached for Elise, Eddie and even Marshall, Little Brodie was pretty special, too, It's always the characters that draw me in, This book had them. A diverse group I could love or love to hate! And, that's what I loved the most about this story!

Although I know this book is probably not for everyone, it was a delightful surprise for me.
For this reason, this book gets allstars!

Thank you to Goodreads, Ecco/Harper Collins Publishers and A, J. Gnuse for an ARC of this book, It has been my pleasure to give my honest and voluntary review, .
