It’s late, a mother is woken by her young son having night terrors. She’s just got him back to sleep when she hears a noise. A footstep. It’s too heavy to be her daughter sleep walking. Someone must have broken in, she’s too far from her phone, there’s a snowstorm outside and her two children to protect. She has to make her decisions quickly.

I was hooked from the first chilling chapter. A claustrophobic and tense thriller, about a mothers choices when a monster breaks into her home. I was so desperate for the family to be safe that I couldn’t stop reading. Gradually we learn more about the mother and her family and begin to question her reality. An atmospheric story that I would recommend, although maybe don’t read it when you’re home alone like I did!
