What if home is the most dangerous place you can be? For fans of Room and readers of Shari Lapena. Gloria Janes appears to be a doting suburban mother and loving wife. But beyond her canary-yellow door, Gloria controls her husband, Telly, as well as seven-year-old Maisy and her older brother Rowan, through a disorienting cycle of adoration and banishment. When Telly leaves, Gloria turns on Rowan. He runs away, finding unlikely refuge with a homeless man named Carl, with whom he forms the kind of bond he has never found with his parents. After they are menaced by strangers, Rowan follows Carl to an isolated cottage, where he accidentally sets off a burst of heightened paranoia in Carl, and their adventure takes a menacing turn. Gloria is publicly desperate for the safe return of her son while privately plotting ever wilder ways to lure Telly home for good. Her behaviour grows more erratic and her manipulation of Maisy begins to seem dedicated toward an outcome that only she can see. The two storylines drive relentlessly toward a climax that is both shocking and emotionally riveting. Suspenseful, unsettling, and masterful, Hideaway explores the secrets of a troubled family and illuminates an unlikely hero and a source of unexpected strength.

An unsettling book about a dysfunctional and abusive family, Lundrigan‘s most recent novel, Hideaway, is both attention-grabbing and heart-wrenching. It is told from two perspectives: that of 13-year-old Rowan, and his 7-year-old sister, Maisy. On the surface, their mother Gloria is a devoted parent, but behind closed doors, she is controlling and manipulative, especially after the children‘s father, Telly, moves out. 3.5 stars. #NetGalley

I've started this one, but I'm not sure this is the kind of book I'm in the mood for? 🤔 Lundrigan kills it everytime with the unsettling, disturbing stories - but do I want to read that right now?
