About this ebook
“Hooked from the start . . . absolutely brilliant. Wish I could rate it higher . . . Just wow!” —Amazon reviewer, five stars
Her new house has a mysterious past—and her new life in the English countryside is about to take a dark turn . . .
When Ellie and Ash move into a beautiful old house in rural Norfolk, England, they believe they’ve found their perfect home. Intrigued by the people next door, Ellie befriends shy but sweet Benjamin, and as time goes by, becomes ever more curious about his elusive sister, Virginia.
But when she discovers that her new home has a darker past and that Ash has been keeping secrets, what she thought was a perfect life in the countryside begins to unravel. Is her best friend to be trusted, are the new neighbours all that they really seem, and why is her new puppy so obsessed with the cellar? Most worrying of all is the mystery of what happened to the former occupants of the house.
When Ash goes away on business and strange things begin to happen, Ellie’s paranoia goes into overdrive. But are these all coincidences—or is she really in danger?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Good book. It's not boring in any way. Definitely want to read more from the author.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The whole plot is derivative and completely unoriginal. The main character is super annoying. Yet again there is a "people with mental illness are so dangerous" trope. Yeah, I thought this was lazy writing and the book was not good
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I really want to give it 3.5 stars. It was interesting and suspenseful and kept me reading, which was a good thing.
However, POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT- the twist was a bit of a copy of a popular classic horror movie. Kind of a disappointing way to end. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well, it was done before, so I've guessed the twistfrom the almost very start. But it was an entertaining page turner so it desrves 4 stars.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved it! It was a great read. Had me thinking I knew what was happening and then bam there’s the twist! My first time reading this author and I’m glad I did!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great ending! Overall a good read. Loved the style of narration in the novel.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved it. A fun read with lots of twists.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Solid 5 stars. A good conclusion to 2022, creepily so.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very good enjoyed reading it, one of the best! Hurrah!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The storyline pulled me in immediately and I had to continue to read until the end.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The suspense is good and it gave me a 'sitting at the edge of my seat' feel towards the end. I feel that the antagonist's character is well-written and the unexpected surprise of 'character reveal' at the end is a thumbs up!
