The Bachmann Family Secret Reviews

4.0
“I had no idea what to expect from The Bachmann Family Secret because Damian Serbu is a "new to me" author. It didn't take long for this book to draw me in. It had it's slow spots and a couple of little road bumps, but it ended up being a book that I really enjoyed. Jaret is coming to terms with the realization that he's gay. Coupled with other things that set him apart from the rest of his family, it's not an easy revelation. He doesn't think his family will disown him, but he's also not hoping for total acceptance. They've been trying to "fix" him his entire life and adding his "gayness" to the mix isn't going to make things any easier. Since he can't exactly tell his family that his dead grandfather doesn't want him to travel back to the family home, he has no choice but to go along and hope for the best. It doesn't take long for Jaret to realize that his grandfather's warning was warranted. There is most definitely something about the house that isn't happy with Jaret and the rest of his family - and it's not subtle about getting that point across. The only bright spots in The Bachmann Family Secret for Jaret are his sister, his dog and Steve, who he meets in town. Meeting Steve is an unexpected surprise in many ways. He doesn't doubt what Jaret sees and gives him something he hasn't had before - someone to talk to with no judgement. With the help of Steve, his sister and some other unexpected allies, Jaret has to solve the mystery surrounding the hauntings at his grandfather's home before it destroys them all. I received The Bachmann Family Secret in exchange for a fair and honest review.”
