About this listen
In this thrilling novel from bestselling author John Marrs, a young couple’s house hides terrible secrets—and not all of them are confined to the past.
Mia and Finn are busy turning a derelict house into their dream home when Mia unexpectedly falls pregnant. But just when they think the house is ready, Mia discovers a shocking message scored into a skirting board: I WILL SAVE THEM FROM THE ATTIC. Following the clue up into the eaves, the couple make a gruesome discovery: their home was once a real-life murder house, with the evidence still concealed within the four walls.
In the wake of their traumatic discovery, the baby arrives and Mia can’t shake her fixation with the monstrous crimes that happened right above them. Tormented by the terrible things she saw, she is desperate to dig into the past to find answers.
Secrecy shrouds the mystery of the attic, but when shards of a dark truth start to emerge, Mia realises the danger is terrifyingly present. She is prepared to do anything to protect her family—but will the previous tenants stop her from discovering their secret?

Story
It’s been ten years since Priscilla and her Zeta Phi Zeta sorority sisters graduated college. Ten years since they were all in the same room together. Ten years since one of them died. And now Lupé’s killer has been released from prison on a technicality, days before their ten-year reunion. Priscilla decides that the party must go on; Lupé would have wanted it to. And besides, an epic reunion bash might be the perfect distraction. Back together, the Zetas party like it’s 2012, and it’s wild, just the way it used to be. Maybe too wild.

Such an intricate story that is super complex. Glad I listened to the audiobook so the different voices could help me keep track of who was talking and whose perspective it was. LOVED it

Good Performance and Interesting Book
Pros:
-interesting and convoluted story
-good performance by the voice actors
-kept me hanging on my seat and I finished it very quickly cause it was hard to stop listening to
Cons
-The biggest issue I had with it is that one of the biggest twists in the book is somewhat revealed by the gender of the narrator. I think the twist would have been more shocking if I hadn’t been able to guess the person’s gender.

Idk why people are hating
Just damn. Twist after twist after twist. How can it end like that?!?
I purely listen to thrillers and this book had me enthralled. Holy damn John your brain is stunning and creepy.
The narration threw me off at first but it made 100% sense as the story went on.
Y’all will not regret this one. Even if you predict one twist, you will not predict them all (literally had to rewind multiple times because I couldn’t believe what I was hearing)

Could’ve been 5 stars
This was an excellent story until about 75% of the way through when it starts getting extremely unbelievable. Mental gymnastics are required to carry on. I still liked it but it wasn’t Marrs’ best.

Not his best
I've enjoyed all of John Mars' books, but this is not his best. It was predictable and the story was all over the place with no real flow. It just went on for too long for no reason. What were supposed to be "twists" just fell flat and seemed contrived.
