Oh my goodness.
I thought I had worked out everything in this book, but then by the end I had not gotten anything correct and could not believe that I was so wrong about everything and everyone!
Tricia and Ethan just seem like normal, everyday people. A husband and wife who have found their new dream home, only Tricia becomes weirded out by noises she hears and things she sees while they are at this house. She tells Ethan and he doesn’t seem to believe her - only soon after she tells him she’s pregnant and he then blames everything she’s said on pregnancy paranoia. We also meet Luke Strauss and Adrienne Hale. Adrienne has been missing for 3 years, and it was believed Luke was behind her murder this whole time. The house that Tricia and Ethan have fallen in love with, is no other than Dr. Hale’s… but everything in the house remains, no furniture etc was removed from the home which is what creeps Tricia out, and keeps saying things like “how could I wear a dead woman’s clothes?” or “why would I live in a dead woman’s house?” but there was never any proof that Adrienne was even dead, did Tricia know something about Adrienne’s disappearance?
Is Ethan as normal as he seems or is he hiding something?
I definitely recommend reading this book, it really has you on the edge of your seat. I just couldn’t put it down, I just had to keep reading to see what was going to happen next. I can safely say, this book really surprised me with all the twists and turns.
