“The door in front of me is the ugliest shade of plum I’ve ever seen. It’s a prune Grandma would eat, a raisin on its last leg, a swollen bruise in the most inconvenient of places.

The waiting is the worst part, wondering who will open the door. But this time the waiting is killing me, tearing me down piece by piece and devouring me with its insatiable jaws.

I bite my lip and raise my hand to knock.

A young girl faced with four choices, must make a decision that will forever haunt her.”

This book left me breathless and wanting more. It is such a engaging story that I was sad to see it end. 
In this short story, there is so much description as to what is happening, hooking you at the right moment that you need more. I really like that I was able to step into the characters shoes right away. Everything was right on target and very descriptive. 
I’m not sure what else to say but to read it. It’s a very creative short story that captures you right away.
Four Houses is stellar, building up tension from the very first page!
I give it 5 BITES!
Happy Reading!
