Okay! Challenge accepted! It’s so hard to write a review about ultra haunting and extremely dark, thrilling book that make you scream “what the actual heck!” at least hundred times during your read without giving much away! If I accidentally write a wrong word, I may ruin your reading experience!
I can honestly say this is more BIZARRE, BLEAK, INTENSE, CLAUSTROPHOBIC and EERIE than I expected!
Quick recap of plot:
Vera reluctantly returns back to her haunted childhood house after her terrible mother( she’s terribly ill and she’s also terrible person) who is dying, calls her to say goodbyes. She swore not to put a foot into it, when she left.
Now her mother is unrecognizable, rooting alive and there’s a disturbing tenant: parasitic artist living in their guest house: probably playing mind games with Vera by leaving notes in her room. The notes seem like written by her dead father or their tenant has a talent to imitate his handwriting!
They’re so unexplainable things keep happening at this place as the monster under her bed keeps threatening Vera!
Did I attract your attention? Wait for till you read the last third: that big twist will truly rock your world!
I have to say this book truly disturbed me! It was smart, awkward, haunting! The ominous call of the story kept me attention intact. I couldn’t put it down!
It reminds me you of my favorite Stephen King quote: “ monsters are real and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.”
Who is going to win in this story? You get to read for finding out!
Special thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan-Tor/ Forge for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions.

Claustrophobic is a great way to describe it. I didn't think of that when writing my review, but that definitely fits the vibe to a tee. Great review, Nilufer. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did! xx

What category do I put this in? Mystery? Suspense? It doesn’t sound like a thriller. It does sound interesting though.
Reading this now started eerie I agree with you Nilufer hope I can get through it great review.💜
