I read a lot and very critical! I can figure out the twists from almost the start, but not this book you will love this book!


I absolutely LOVED it!! It kept me on my toes the whole time and instantly grabbed my attention. It's definitely a must read!!

Late last night as I couldn't sleep, I turned on my Kindle and started this ARC.

I was captivated and pulled in and didn't stop through the night!

The Treehouse is one of those books that sort of haunts you, and makes you wonder what you would do if this was you and your family.

When the Palmers take a little holiday to a seaside town, two young brothers and their actions create a chain reaction of trouble. The family will have to relive this experience years later, when the entire ordeal is turned into a TV series.

This is laid out in dual timelines and plot twists you don't see coming. It's a harsh look at family life, the resentment that can build and how awful people can be when presented with tragedy.

A truly exceptional thriller with twists and turns that I didn't see coming.
Such a unique concept pitting siblings against each other while creating a dual sense of distrust and codependency.
Brilliant characters that were simply captivating and such accomplished prose.
An immersive setting that drew the reader in especially when set in the seaside town.
And a well executed dark thread that shows how easily young vulnerable men can be drawn into dangerous territory when they have little to believe in.
I'm not sure which character I'm most scared of! - this would make a fabulous film.
