Suburban Hell

De: Maureen Kilmer

Narrado por: Jaime Lamchick

A Chicago cul-de-sac is about to get a new neighbor...of the demonic kind.

Amy Foster considers herself lucky. After she left the city and moved to the suburbs, she found her place quickly with neighbors Liz, Jess, and Melissa, snarking together from the outskirts of the PTA crowd. One night during their monthly wine get-together, the crew concoct a plan for a clubhouse She Shed in Liz’s backyard—a space for just them, no spouses or kids allowed.

But the night after they christen the She Shed, things start to feel . . . off. They didn’t expect Liz’s little home-improvement project to release a demonic force that turns their quiet enclave into something out of a nightmare. And that’s before the homeowners’ association gets wind of it.

Even the calmest moms can’t justify the strange burn marks, self-moving dolls, and horrible smells surrounding their possessed friend, Liz. Together, Amy, Jess, and Melissa must fight the evil spirit to save Liz and the neighborhood . . . before the suburbs go completely to hell.

October Bookclub pick

Not really my genre “horror chick lit” but I really enjoyed it. It was a fun read!!

So much fun.

This book made me chuckle. I loved how mundane the characters were despite the plot being anything but. Clear plot progressions and character motivations made for a great experience.
If you’re a fan of My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix, then you should definitely check this out.

Horror for suburban housewives

It was funny but gave me the Real housewives of evil possession. Lol. I would recommend anyone who likes horror and comedy.

The power of friendship

This was excellent!!! You won’t regret it! Amy and Jess are my favorite characters!!! It’s so worth listening ! You will be curious to see what happens next!

I did not laugh

I was hoping for a light funny book but it never really got funny. Very caught up in the mundane.

Super Fun Horror

This was a light easy to listen to captivating story that I throughly enjoyed while walking in the morning!

Excellent

Really wish it didn’t end & hope there’s a part two, would love the see what happens with Heather

Desperate Housewives meets Grady Hendrix

It was a fun, thoroughly entertaining, spooky read! The main characters are engaging, entertaining and relatable. I think I know all 4 in my own suburban ‘hood! 😉😄

Loved it!

It was not what I was expecting but I loved it! It had some funny parts and very relatable motherhood scenario. A great story about friendship and a little like Idol hands or Jennifer’s body!

Super fun, spooky and well told!

I loved how I could relate to the characters in the book, I could easily picture each character and their personality like I was watching a movie. It was very relatable, funny and witty. Well written and spooky! Minus the evil that happens it could have been a story of my own suburban neighborhood and friends. Fun read!
