So that was creepy.
Moral of the story is never let a stranger into your home. Period.
Eve and Charlie are house flippers and their newest project is a very secluded, very old house in the mountains. One night shortly after the move, a family rings the bell asking to come in for a few minutes. The father of the family grew up in this house and he just wants a chance to show his kids— 15 minutes, tops. Ever the anxious people-pleaser, Eve agrees. Then the youngest kid goes missing and a horrible snow storm is approaching.
I love love love the vibes of this book. I was scared to read it after dark. The idea is so scary and intriguingthere’s a malevolent entity that enters your life and completely distorts your reality to the point where “you” no longer exist. It’s fantastic and scary to think about it actually happening. I really love the scenery of the basement with the random hallways and rooms. At some moments it felt like there was going to be some time traveling as well and I think that would have been so cool . But as much as I loved it, I’m still left with a few questions I want to know more about that cabin and who lived in there, also that little girl in the woods
