This book was terrifying! If you have any plans to sleep, or use the bathroom in the middle of the night, I would only read Amity during the day.

Told from different perspectives Amity follows the life of two teenagers who just moved into the old house with their families due to strange circumstances that followed the teenagers at their previous homes. From one perspective, you get Connor, whose family lived in Amity ten years before Gwen and her family move in, and in the other you get Gwen whose perspective is told in current days. In one perspective, you get to see the possession of one of our characters as it happens. In the other you watch as one of their loved ones become the possessed. Both sets of views are equally terrifying.
