This book will absolutely keep you on the edge of your seat from the very first page. The story revolves around Tristan and Ally, a young couple who move into a seemingly idyllic new house with their four-year-old daughter, Dora. However, their dream home quickly turns into a nightmare as they are plagued by a series of inexplicable and terrifying events.

Tristan and Dora begin to experience strange occurrences and Tristan becomes increasingly convinced that the house is haunted, but Ally remains skeptical, dismissing his fears as mere imagination. As the supernatural activity intensifies, Tristan's sanity begins to unravel, and he becomes desperate to uncover the dark secret hidden within the walls of their new home.

The author creates a web of suspense and fear that keeps the reader guessing until the very end. The pacing of this story is perfect, with each chapter building towards a chilling climax. This is the first book I have read by Erica Damon and it did not disappoint! I am looking forward to reading more of her books. This is a must-read for fans of the thriller genre!
