Many thanks to NetGalley, Amazon Publishing | Thomas & Mercer, and Brilliance Publishing for gifting me an audio ARC of the latest book by Rachel Howell Hall, narrated by the author. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Nicole and her husband, Truman, have been married for 11 years and cracks are showing. Then Truman is lost and presumed dead during a scuba diving accident. Nicole is devastated by his loss and the fact that she was keeping secrets from him. She stops sleeping and taking care of herself, consumed with grief. Then strange occurrences start sending her over the edge, and she starts losing her grip on reality.
This was captivated me from the start and I listened to it all day. It's such a good mix of psychological creepiness - just what's happening? Is the house haunted? Is Nicole losing her mind? Is she taking too many drugs? I loved the supernatural twist and the unreliable narrator, keeping me on the edge throughout the story. The author did a fabulous job narrating. I've read a few of her books lately and have enjoyed them all. This one explores guilt and trauma in the creepiest of ways.
