The Helland reckoning by Adrian Martin.
Omg an absolutely fantastic read with brilliant characters.  Couldn't put it down.  What a thriller of a read.  Katie has just moved to Helland with her 2 daughter's Sarah and tegan. After hitting a dear while on the way there they finally get to their new home.  All is not what it seems as Sarah goes missing. A man comes to Katie's aid to help her get her daughter back. But at first she doesn't trust him. It is only tegans insistence to trust him that she does. Katie doesn't realize who Michael really is. He will tell her but only when the time is right. Who has Sarah? And why? Will Katie get her daughter back? I loved this book. I fell into it immediately and I felt as though I was a part of the story watching as wired things started to happen. Like with the doll. I loved Michael and ben. There were some scenes I didn't like. It was very well written especially the burning corpes.  I would highly recommend this book.  5*. Even though it deserves more.
