Elna_McIntosh | Sep 29, 2021 |    ) jakatomc | Dec 30, 2020 | In The House of Twelve, 12 strangers wake up in a house together with no memory of how or why they are there. They also have no memory of who they are, aside from their name. When they wake up they find the "House Rules" which they have to follow. The rules are simple: 1. No escape 2. Make what you have last 3. When the music stops, someone must die 4. Only one person can die per day and only during 11-Midnight They must also remember "redemption is key". As each day goes on the twelve strangers become even more afraid as each one wonders if today will be their last. Alliances are formed, the next victim is picked, and the days inside the house continue. The author left out a lot of information about the characters that could of made them seem more human and less like a body waiting to die. However, I find that in the context of the story it really worked. The lack of information about the characters made the story more interesting in the way that the reader doesn't know more about the characters than the characters do, since none of them know anything about themselves until later in the book. I feel like finding the background of all the characters would have just been filler, especially the ones who died off earlier in the book. It felt as though the information was given on a need-to-know basis. This was such a great read! I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it at first but within a few pages I was hooked! The author has a new twist coming every time you think it's figured out. This book is creepy and will keep you on the edge of your seat until it's finished. I definitely recommend reading this book.

Twelve strangers wake up in a strange house with no memory of how they got there, and barely any recollection of who they are. They quickly learn that there is no way out, scarcely enough food and water to go around, and eerie music plays constantly in the background of every room. There is nothing to explain their mysterious incarceration except for a few scattered clues, a strange clock with twenty-four numbers and one single hour hand, and a leather-bound sheet of rules that makes their situation all the more fatal. The House Rules: Rule one: No escape. You can't leave, plain and simple. Try to escape and you won't like what you find on the other side. Rule two: Make what you have last. Whatever food and water you currently find in the house is all that you will be provided with during your stay. No more will be given to you under any circumstance. Rule three: When the music stops, someone must die. The music you can all hear in the background will cease between the hour of twenty-three and twenty-four; when this happens someone must die. Failure to comply with this rule will result in everyone's death. Rule four: Only one, and only when the music stops! One death, and only one death, must occur in the allotted time between the hour of twenty-three and twenty-four. Again, failure to comply with this rule will result in everyone's death. We hope you have a pleasant stay, and don't forget: Redemption is the key to escape. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I’m not sure why I went into this thinking it was a YA novel (maybe the superficial similarities to Sleator’s House of Stairs?), but it definitely is not.
A group of 12 wakes up in a mysterious house, with no memories of their pasts or each other, and only a copy of the “House Rules” to guide them.
I’m a big fan of “bottle” stories, where characters are stuck in one location with all kinds of stuff to figure out. Good reveals, satisfying character moments, that’s all I can ask for.
I receive a complimentary copy in exchange for a review. (
