Many thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan/Tor-Forge for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest horror/thriller by Catriona Ward - 5 stars! Did you read The Last House on Needless Street? You must! And this book is just as creepy, dark and disturbing - but you won't be able to put it down!
Rob and her husband, Irving, are trying to live the idyllic life in the suburbs, raising two daughters, Callie and Annie. But, of course, nothing is as it seems. Rob and Irving are always at odds, Irving and Callie are so close to the exception of Rob, and now Rob is fearful that Callie will hurt Annie. She decides that she and Callie will go for a weekend to Sundial, the remote ranch where Rob grew up. Rob needs to let Callie know the truth of their past. But will they both make it home?
Move over Stephen King (but I still love you!) - Catriona Ward is able to deliver gut-wrenching, creepy, horror novels in short novels. No more slugging through 900 pages to get to the end where everything happens! Ward's writing is so good - she gets right to the heart of toxic relationships, dark feelings, and creepy atmospheres. The different POVs from Rob and Callie, along with Rob's writings, let us see into their thoughts. Lots of triggers here but definitely a must read!
