Publisher's Summary
A spellbinding novel about an unspeakable secret that could destroy a family, from the New York Times bestselling author of Finding Emma.
Elle is a survivor. She’s managed to piece together a solid life from a childhood of broken memories and fairy tales her mom told her to explain away bad dreams. But weekly visits to her mother still fill Elle with a paralyzing fear she can’t explain. It’s just another of so many unanswered questions she grew up with in a family estranged by silence and secrets.
Elle’s world turns upside down when she receives a deathbed request from her grandfather, a man she was told had died years ago. Racked by grief, regrets, and a haunted conscience, he has a tale of his own to tell Elle: about her mother, an imaginary friend, and two strangers who came to the house one night and never left.
As Elle’s past unfolds, so does the truth - if she can believe it. She must face the reasons for her inexplicable dread. As dark as they are, Elle must listen…before her grandfather’s death buries the family’s secrets forever.

Loved this book.
I don’t usually write a review but this book was so well written it kept me guessing throughout the book and still ended differently than I expected.

Returned it. Not bad, just wasn't for me.
Even though it was only $4.95, I did end up returning this book for a refund. I don't think it's a bad book, but the characters were not compelling enough for me to want to continue. I really need that "can't wait to see what happens next" feeling and I just didn't get it with this book. I just didn't want to listen to every single detail of each of the characters thoughts. I guess I felt that it progressed a little too slowly for me to be that interested in it.

Story dragged on and on
I was extremely frustrated listening to this. This book would have been about four hours shorter if the characters would just spit. it. out.
Everyone knew secrets, and no one would talk, it was an incredibly frustrating listening experience. I also didn't care for the "twist" at the end.

Frustrating but in a good way
I loved this books dual narratives from two people. It’s storytelling at it’s best, however, it was frustrating at times when all you wanted was to know what hapens next. A definite binge listen for curious people like myself.

I couldn't turn it off, amazing story. Amazing narration. It's fairly predictable but you're still dying to know you guessed right.

Loved it! Sad it’s over
Loved it! Made me stay in the truck while parked in the driveway each night wanting to hear more! I am sad it is over. I also love who did the voices 😊
