I
did enjoy this mystery; it had many twists and turns and the characters were
very well developed. I did find towards
the middle of the book that it reminded me of something else I had either read
or watched in movie format. I couldn’t
quite put my finger on it. Freya and Skye go through the husband/father divorce
and then he dies. His girlfriend being
very creepy while he was living and after he died. She blamed her at first for the things going
wrong in their new home. She then starts
looking at the new landlord and his partner for the blame for all of the
strange things going on in her apartment. She soon finds out things are not
right and there are other places to look for the blame.

Description
It’s an opportunity she can’t refuse. The woman before her
tried…
Freya Miller needs a miracle. In the fallout of her
husband’s betrayal, she’s about to lose her family home, and with it the
security she craves for her five-year-old daughter, Skye. Adrift and alone,
she’s on the verge of despair until a chance meeting with the charismatic Dr
Marsden changes everything. He’s seeking a new tenant for a shockingly
affordable flat in a fashionable area of London.
Adder House sounds too good to be true… But Freya really
can’t afford to be cynical, and Dr Marsden is adamant she and Skye will be a
perfect fit with the other residents.
But Adder House has secrets. Even behind a locked front
door, Freya feels as if she’s being watched: objects moving, unfamiliar smells,
the blinking light of a concealed camera… and it’s not long before she begins
to suspect that her dream home is hiding a nightmarish reality. Was it really
chance that led her here—or something unthinkably dark?
As the truth about Adder House starts to unravel, can Freya
and Skye get out—or will they be locked in forever?
