Unwelcome Guests

Written by Anna Willett

Narrated by Cat Gould

A weekend getaway in an isolated country house is just what Caitlin needs to fix her relationship with husband Eli . . .

Her spirits are up as they enter the spacious retreat and cool off in the nearby lake. With Eli's easy-going brother accompanying them-the party was his idea-the barbecue lit and beers cracked open, everything should be set for a perfect evening.

But her husband is cold and dismissive so Caitlin decides to drown her sorrows, and heads into the wine cellar. What she finds there will change their lives forever.

No peaceful sojourn from their daily worries, the house will stage an intense battle of wits: violent, claustrophobic, and cruel. The danger the small group are in will put their trust in one another to the ultimate test. The question is, will anyone get out alive?

Reviews for Unwelcome Guests

[carol420 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Eli and Caitlin have reached a slight bump in their relationship. I thought it could better be described as a deep ditch. Eli's brother, Jace, comes to the rescue. Jace has a friend who has let him borrow his home for the weekend. Caitlin and Jace persuade Eli that it would be a good idea for them all to go. Eli isn't too enthused about going but gives in to his brother. These three people seem to have more problems than a week-end way is going to solve.... Dr. Phil would even be at a loss. Jace, Eli's brother, has feelings for Caitlin, Eli's wife, which went beyond those of a brother-in-law for a sister-in-law. For her part, Caitlin is haunted by a horrible incident which happened 15 years ago when she was 14. The things that occurred at the house seem to be unbelievable. A psychopathic sexual predator who has been hiding in the basement spends the better part of the book terrorizing the three people and chasing Caitlin around the house. Lots of blood is spilled, and I mean LOTS. Eventually Jace and Eli try to stop the psychopath only managing to place Caitlin in even more danger. Then we find out that Caitlin had a "BIG" secret that she never shared with Eli, but he eventually finds out when she was at the hospital. Then when she is confronted with a decision about who she would like to see live, she chooses a total stranger rather than a family member. Really? Who does that? Just way too many unrealistic characters doing way too many unrealistic things.

Australian author Anna Willett has written a book thick with fear and excitement, creating a credible scenario where tensions between a woman and her husband reach fever pitch when they inadvertantly get involved in a terrible crime.
