Beyond the Creek by Nico Bell

dark mysterious fast-paced

4.0

"Alex Foster never expected to survive her past; now she had no choice but to face the future."

Alex has fled from an abusive relationship. Pregnant and alone, she has to try to rebuild her life
and provide safety for herself and her unborn child. She feels fortunate to find a place to live and a job she can rely on. She becomes a private caregiver for the Nox family. Eccentric and somewhat unfriendly, Alex learns the Nox family has many dark secrets. She comes to cherish little Callie and will do anything to protect her from the darkness that lies in wait "Beyond the Creek".

Shrouded in mystery and evil intentions, we are spell bound to the unraveling of the hidden secrets. Alex's journey becomes one of survival, the pure love and protection of motherhood, and more than one underlying threat.

Supernatural, creepy and sinister , a creature that just may scare you and give you the chills.
A pretty strong female protagonist, considering she is pregnant and yet she stands strong and fights with all the strength she can muster. A surprise element pertaining to the Nox family women and little Callie is quite a twist that may cause you to squirm with shivery tingles. A bit of revenge in the end that put a smile on my face!
