About this ebook
Dark domestic suspense meets haunted house horror in this unnerving adult debut guaranteed to keep you awake for days afterward, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Don’t Let the Forest In and Hazelthorn
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?
"A masterpiece." - Ava Reid
"Brilliantly tense, paranoid, masterfully wrought." - Dawn Kurtagich
"Prepare to have your heartstrings clawed." - T. Marie Vandelly
