M. A. Robinson’s It Ate Us is a fantastic, haunting tale that showcases the strength of a mother’s love, even when death has you in its crosshairs. The story begins with Sarah and her family moving into their new home due to the father, Kyle, accepting a job in the town of Aditville. Strange noises and happenings begin to take place in the home, and Sarah notes that she is the only one who can see the disturbing visions. While taking care of her child, curiosity takes hold, and she begins to look into the home’s history. As Sarah gets closer to the truth of the Burrow Estate, her daughter goes missing. Chasing time to rescue her child, Sarah embarks on a journey that tests her sanity and who she can trust in this town.

It Ate Us is a solid story that’s more than just a ghost story or a haunted house tale. It’s got a creep factor that revs up from the middle all the way until the end. You will definitely root for Sarah against her foes *cough, Kyle, cough*, and pray for her triumph. Although this is just a bite-sized review, the book is definitely more than just a snack.

M. A. Robinson’s It Ate Us: The Haunting of Burrow Estate is available August 30 everywhere books are sold.
