Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of this wonderful book by CG Drews, with the audio narrated perfectly by the wonderful Saskia Maarleveld. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Elodie is a single mother to Jude. They've been rescued from a bad situation by Bren, who whisked her away to a whole new life. He's renovating his parents' old home and they have a new baby on the way. But Jude starts hearing voices in the wall. What's going on?
Okay – wow – that was crazy good! I never knew what was happening and what was coming next, but the creepy feeling is so strong throughout the entire book. Is the house haunted? Is Elodie an unreliable narrator? Is Jude? Bren? It was brilliantly written so that I questioned everything and everyone up until that ending. Lots of themes explored but especially motherhood and past trauma. I think I was traumatized in the best possible way after reading this – don’t miss it! I had both formats, but I'm such a huge fan of Saskia Maarleveld's narration that I mostly listened to this one.
