After a betrayal that sent their marriage into freefall, Hannah and Sam are desperate for a fresh start with their eight-year-old daughter Lily—and where better than picture-perfect Owl Cottage in beautiful Cornwall. But something about the holiday home stirs dark memories for Hannah…

When she finds dead creatures on the doorstep and hears mysterious knocks at the door, Hannah can’t help wondering whether someone is messing with her—or whether the past she’s been running from has finally claimed her sanity.

As the disturbing events at Owl Cottage seep out into the local community and the police become involved, Hannah turns to Sam for help, but when he dismisses her worries, she wonders if she was wrong to ever trust him. Are the memories making her paranoid, or is this something more sinister than she dares imagine?

My Thoughts:

The story is based in Cornwall and it centres around Hannah, her husband Sam and their daughter Lily. They are staying in Owl Cottage in Cornwall and strange and sinister things start to happen, Hannah doesn’t know how to cope with it all, is it to do with her past? as a reader we get the back story about Hannah’s past and things become more clear as we read on. Then something truly tragic happens and the police get involved but who can Hannah trust? I liked how each chapter we peeled off a another layer and it was great the anticipation of what the outcome would be. I never guessed where the story would lead and I doubt anyone will. I really enjoyed this chilling read that is packed full of tension, suspicion, intrigue and more importantly lies. I cannot wait to read more of Teresa’s books.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
