Publisher's Summary

It was meant to be a place of safety. Their home. Her sanctuary.

When Prue Bridgewater first glimpses the abandoned old house, it's love at first sight. Her husband, Ray, is not so sure. The property has been neglected for decades, and Ray can't help wondering why. But with Prue on the brink of a nervous breakdown, he'll do whatever it takes to keep her sane, even if it means he has to live there.

Once ensconced in their new home, Prue begins fixing up the place while Ray is away at work. But after a series of disturbing discoveries, she fears she's losing her mind. She hears things and sees people who couldn't possibly be there, and she can't shake the feeling she's being watched.

As Prue's hold on reality begins to disintegrate, along with her marriage, she struggles to tell truth from delusion. But things go from bad to worse, and soon not just her sanity, but her survival hinges upon the long-buried secrets of the house.

Gripping and Suspenseful, But Needs More

While I enjoyed the elements in this story and how it was told, I did not like the ending. I guess I'm old fashioned in that I like stories that finish up neat and tidy, it doesn't have to be a happy ending, but it does have to end. This one, did not. I guess the author felt enough clues were given to the reader to figure things out, but I don't read a book as a detective, I read a book as someone who's being told a story. This story needs a beginning, middle and an END.
I found it well written, nonetheless and a great spin on an otherwise overdone story.
