Just listened to this on Audible. A cracxking good psychological thriller with some excellent touches of the supernatural. It was read by Clare Corbett who an excellent narrator who totally brought the book to life for me. Well worth a listen or a read.

This book was not what I expected. I definitely enjoyed it and would give it 3.5 stars. I never would have guessed the ending. The book was not predictable. It was full of suspense with some added supernatural drama. Honestly, I would have never slept alone in the house, it was too scary and I would have been afraid of what ever ghost or monster lived there. Luckily, the monster was finally revealed. I loved the story and writing style. The characters fit the story perfectly. Claire ended up being my favorite and pretty much the only character I liked. Adam was a distant second.

The incident at the beginning was awful. I understand how Isobel, Tim and Adam would be traumatized from what happened when they were younger. It was a scary situation and extremely crazy that someone would do that. I don't think any of them ever got the helped they needed to deal with what occurred. Isobel was so child-like and at times seemed like an actual grownup. I'm not sure Eve really got her the care she needed. Plus there were so many secrets Isobel kept from her mother. Then there's Tim. Tim is so lucky that Claire is forgiving. He just wanted his parents to fix his messes.

Definitely recommend this book. I kept wondering what was going to jump out at Tim, Claire and their daughter while they slept. The book definitely had me hooked from the beginning and I didn't want to put it down. I look forward to reading more books by the author.

Thanks to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author, Lucy Dawson, for a free electronic ARC of this novel. ( )
