"Monsters don't always hide in the dark, some of them walk around in broad daylight happy to be seen by anyone foolish enough to look in their direction."

Her birthday is the only time anyone makes an effort to visit Daisy's grandmother. But on her 80th birthday, when the family is gathered to celebrate, the family starts dying... One by one.

This is my first book by Alice Feeney after people telling me I would enjoy her stories, I'm only mad I waited this long. The story was told in such a way it's the first time I truly did not see anything coming and it just hit me.
