Lock the Doors

Product Information

When a boy enters his new house he notices holes on the doors… what is going on? A pretty good book, but it felt just a tad too long for me. Amy and Tom were so adorable together! I was happy that they found each other, though it was an awkward relationship, I still was rooting for this duo. Hoping that they would get together.

Moments later, Mike Sarafin, the guidance and navigation officer, announces that Columbia's wing is encountering drag, or increased wind resistance. Mr Cain asks if everything else is normal and Mr Sarafin assures him: "I don't see anything out of the ordinary." As he continues to push towards recovery, we can delight in this classic performance of a beloved song with another country music star. Flight director Leroy Cain asks if there is anything common to the sensors. Mr Kling says there is not, suggesting a general failure instead of a single system.

Nia, Tom’s mom, and Jay were such fun characters. I was also so happy for Tom’s mom to finally find a man who doesn’t beat her, hurt her, do other horrible things. Plus, I loved seeing Nia and Tom getting closer as the story continued. I liked a lot of things about this book but the pacing and atmosphere are perfection! I read this in one sitting and the twists are perfectly twisty and the villains not who you’d think. I love when an author can take an inanimate object like a house and turn it into a character that is able to evoke a certain amount of emotions from both the characters and myself! the writing also didn’t do it for me. it felt very juvenile, even for a ya book, and so choppy. there’s also so much repetition that just isn’t needed. it got old. tom and his family have just moved into their “dream house.” but he notices some things are off - holes in the doors? drawing on the walls? the family who lived here before them moved just down the street. but why? and could digging into the history get tom into trouble?

This is a very basic YA novel. Bizarre things that could never happen in real life, bizarre things that aren't even faintly plausible. The chapters are very short, but it didn't propel me to keep reading, in this instance it just made the book seem so much longer. Despite the author's efforts to put doubts in reader's minds about whether Tom's own trauma was leading him to see monsters where none existed, I almost never expected anything other than the revelation of a giant secret on the part of Amy and/or her family. It was more of a question of what was being hidden, and each detail that was revealed ruined my past theories. I finally ended up with a reasonably decent idea that almost fit all of the clues - it turns out that I was partly right, but things were more messed up than even I guessed.

Mum says most memories are Post-its on the fridge door of your life. But a few, she says, are tattoos on your soul."Alongside the suspense the author has also created some pretty creepy situations and frightening characters who aren’t your typical ‘villains’ but at the same time turn out to be far more frightening and dangerous. There are also the contrasts that keep standing out between Tom’s unhappy past, his present when things seem to be normalising even though this has its obstacles as well, and then again the mystery that the house is throwing up, unsettling things for him again.
