For 2020 I spy a definite theme in my reading choices: old family homes that uncover brutal family histories! This audio was fantastic! And I loved how the fairy tale theme is woven throughout.
Caro has come home to her stepmother‘s funeral. She and her sister, Steph, have not spoken in over 10 years. They decide at the funeral to try and mend fences. Steph goes back to NYC and Caro stays in her hometown to help close out the estate. As she goes about her daily shopping, the townsfolk seem to hate her. Weird things begin happening in her family home. Is she going Cuckoo or is it something else?
Well executed story with an interesting plot. I really enjoyed the ending, and the twists weren‘t always predictable. I did struggle to engage in the earlier part of the book, but always found it interesting (contradictory, I know!) - I think that‘s because I felt rather apathetic about the protagonist. Overall though it‘s enjoyable and definitely worth a read!
I really liked this creepy psychological thriller full of menace. Full review on my blog now!

I received this book from Netgalley. My review is my own honest opinion.
