"Six months ago, my husband tried to kill me.
Now, my sons and I are living in an old Victorian house passed down to me by my uncle. The house may be big, but the town is small... it's safe, which is something I haven't felt in a very long time. And best of all, it's very far away from my ex.
As soon as we move in, however, I discover that this house has an eerie reputation. Rumor has it my uncle was a mysterious man accused of atrocious things, which is drawing a lot of unwanted attention our way.
And the last thing we need is attention; we need to stay invisible if we want to stay alive.
But how can we remain invisible when things keep happening in this house? Strange things. Horrific things that has the whole town watching. Maybe even him. We were supposed to be safe here, but it's becoming glaringly apparent to me that we're in real danger.
Then I remind I'm a mother.
And a mother will do anything to protect her children."

I have read/listened to a couple of Shade Owens' books before and enjoyed them and whilst this wasn't as good as the others, it still kept me engaged.
Alice/Emma have managed to escape her controlling and abusive husband with her two boys and is living in a large house she inherited from her uncle however, she doesn't feel safe and is paranoid and terrified that her husband will, eventually, find her. This, together with a horrifying discovery in the basement and of mysterious handwritten notes left in the kitchen does nothing to ease Alice/Emma's fears.
Told at a steady pace and with flash backs into Alice/Emma's past, this is a tense listen. The narrator did a great job of capturing the tension and whilst I did find Alice/Emma to be a little annoying at times and overly suspicious of everybody and everything, overall, it was a decent story that I enjoyed.
Many thanks to the author, Red Raven Publishing and NetGalley for enabling me to listen and share my thoughts of this intriguing audio book.
