About this audiobook

Domestic suspense meets haunted house horror in this adult debut from the New York Times bestselling author of Don’t Let the Forest In.

“Bloody immersive!” — Booklist

The walls are closing in on her perfect new life.

Single mother Elodie’s life has become a fairy tale. She’s met Bren, equal parts Golden-retriever-devoted and sinfully handsome. He’s whisked her and her autistic son, Jude, to the crumbling family house he’s renovating. She has a new husband, a new house, and a new baby on the way. Everything is perfect.

Until Jude claims he can hear voices in the walls. He says their renovations are “hurting” the house. Even Elodie can’t ignore it—something strange is going on.

The question is, Is it with the house, or with her son?

And what is Elodie hiding?

"Prepare to have your heartstrings clawed." —T. Marie Vandelly

This book was a struggle for me. I intensely disliked Elodie, our main character, from the beginning. I think I was supposed to empathize or feel bad for her, but nope, no way that would happen. She was self-involved, consumed with her own needs, made abhorrent parenting choices, and was mentally unbalanced in a dangerous way. The only real “horror” of this book was the way Elodie and Bren parented Jude. Some details didn’t make sense or weren’t well developed. And the writing felt overwrought, especially with Elodie’s inner monologue, which bordered on pretentious. This book probably would have been a DNF had I read it. But the audiobook narrators did a great job, so I managed to make it to the ending, which I kind of wish I hadn’t done. *Thanks to Macmillan Audio for the free audiobook download!*
