5 Stars from me ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is the perfect late-night scare fest. So good – I am not sure I breathed once while reading it!
Tracy Sierra has done a superb job of creating multi-level thriller which seems to be half psychological and half crime – if it weren’t for the annoying real life things like work and sleep I could definitely have stayed up all night to read this one.
What I loved most was the constant air of who is telling the truth, is the mother a reliable character, or the policeman, or the grandfather? I was constantly questioning what was real, especially as that was so pivotal to what might happen next.
Truly brilliant, great storytelling and at times put me in mind of the level of suspense from other great such as The Last Thing to Burn by Will Dean.
Any thriller fans will love having the pants scared of them by this one!
Blurb: There was someone in the house.
Home alone with her young children during a blizzard, a mother tucks her son back into bed in the middle of the night. Then she hears a noise – old houses are always making some kind of noise. But this sound is disturbingly familiar: it’s the tread of footsteps, unusually heavy and slow, coming up the stairs…
In that split second, she has three choices.
Should she hide? Should she run? Or should she fight?
