My review:
I was drawn into this story almost immediately. It was a great suspense filled story, filled with twists and turns.
You really dont know what to believe until the end of the story. Is Ella crazy, is someone making her that way, or can it really be that the house is haunted.
The story flows so well you are never lost, even in the memories or flashback scenes. You really feel for Ella and hope that she does either get away or figure out what happened to her husband.
The supporting characters were good, you get to know the most about the detective that investigated the murder, and while his past and situation do raise some questions. He is still a great character. Although I would love another story where we do learn a bit more about what made him leave the city.
If you are looking for a good thriller/suspense novel with a hint of a haunting. This is one not to miss. I look forward to reading more from this author soon.
