"It is what it is. That's the thing, you know. Some things are taken from you, and it is absolutely and completely out of your control. One day, you have something in your life that you love, and the next you're left wondering why it was taken from you for the rest of your life."

Lena leaves her past behind as her and her son move into a house belonging to a man named Ellis whom she forms a friendship with. As time goes by, Lena starts experiencing strange things in the house which Ellis apparently knows nothing of. She suspects something is lurking on the property.

The reader follows Lena as she escapes her drug addict boyfriend with a baby in tow. She is resilient for wanting to start a new life and keep her baby safe, however her mental health spirals when strange things start occurring all around her. From hearing voices to seeing a dead person move to weird sightings that aren't actually there. It definitely kept me interested in the story as I couldn't help feel bad for Lena and see where she would end up.

I personally wasn't a fan of the ending and think the story could have been a little longer to better execute the plot and explore what was going on (not saying what as to avoid spoilers), but overall I enjoyed this psychological horror. It was short, creepy, and uneasy. I look forward to reading more from this author!
