A missing child. A desperate mother. And a house full of secrets.
Two years ago, Julia lost her family in a tragic accident. Her husband drowned trying to save their daughter, Lily, in the river near their rural home. But the little girl’s body was never found—and Julia believes Lily is somehow still alive.
Alone and broke, Julia opens her house as a writers’ retreat. One of the first guests is Lucas, a horror novelist, who becomes obsessed with finding out what happened to Lily. But within days of his arrival, the peace of the retreat is shattered by a series of eerie events.
When Lucas’s investigation leads him and Julia into the woods, they discover a dark secret—a secret that someone will do anything to protect…
What really happened that day by the river? Why was Lily never found? And who, or what, is haunting the retreat?
I want to thank Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book before its set to publish. This book is quiet unlike most that I have read. It felt more like life imitating art with the story plot. I really enjoyed reading it. I liked Lucas from the beginning and wanted to see where this story was going. I liked how it went back and forth from present to Lily's POV. I had my mind set on who it was but I was wrong too. I definitely felt that the ending was the spookiest part. I mean I can see her reasoning but still creepy. I felt that this book reminded me of Jeepers Creepers and Slender man all rolled into one. Definitely a good read.
