Plot
I'm blown away. Totally jaw dropping, blown through the wind, shocked to my core.
We follow Eve and her girlfriend, Charlie, a couple who flip houses. While staying in their newest flip while restoring it, a family stops by right before a huge snow storm. The dad, Thomas, says he grew up there and wants to reminisce with his 3 kids and wife. Not so bad right? Wrong.
The youngest, Jenny, disappears and when she returns a benevolent entity starts stalking and warping Eve's perception of reality. Is Eve going crazy or is something sinister and ancient after her?
I was thoroughly freaked out through the whole book. I was turning on lights and having a feeling of being watched 🥲 I loved the story and how it was laid out, alternating between Eve's chapters and forum posts about alternate realities and the like. This is one of those books that will stick with me. It was so unique, creepy, and just terrifying to think about.
Thank you so much NetGalley and the author for the gifted copy!
