Publisher's Summary

Thirteen years ago, Maggie Ellis left her small town and vowed to never return. In her rearview mirror were two men she loved and an ominous secret that would forever haunt her. Now, tragedy has brought her back, and she’s determined to forget that fateful night. But in a town like Myers, with familiar faces and chilling memories lurking around every corner, moving on is easier said than done.

Before the ink can dry on the closing documents for her new residence, Maggie begins to feel unsettled. In every room, there’s the unmistakable sensation she’s being watched. The strange sounds, odd smells, and bizarre occurrences only add to her paranoia. There’s something sinister about her new home…

When she discovers the devastating truth about the house and its grim history, Maggie’s worst fears are realized. In order to survive, she must unearth the secrets she’d always planned to keep buried. After all, they say that home is where the heart is, but as Maggie knows, home is also where the skeletons lie.

Seamlessly blurring the edges between psychological thriller and romantic suspense, million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin brings us a dark and twisted romantic thriller that's perfect for fans of Verity, Tell Me Lies, The Ghost Writer, and You.

Could not stop listening

When listening to this book, I was caught up and had to keep going. I found it very enthralling and finished it pretty quickly.

Ridiculous Twist

I read this based on the fact that it was recommended for fans of the Netflix show You. This isn’t really much of a psychological thriller, but more of a romance with a love triangle and some haunted house type “scares” thrown in.While the narrator for this book did well with the material, the story was ridiculous. The twist towards the end seemed like the author didn’t know how her own story was going to end, so she made up one of the stupidest reasons I’ve ever come across for the happenings in the book.

DNF

It was hard to get into this off the bat, as I found the narrator to be cringy. The way she lowers her voice for the male characters sounded horrible and was distracting. I was also not enjoying Maggie. Had to DNF this one after about 6 chapters.

Very repetitive

The story just did not capture me at all. It seemed to loose me interest from the very start.

Predictable plot.

Knew how this story would unfold from the first chapter: light beach read; classic “harlequin” characters.

Too sappy

This should have been rated a romance. Then I would not have wasted my time on it.
