About this audiobook
Leigh Harker's quiet suburban home was her sanctuary for more than a decade, until things abruptly changed. Curtains open by themselves. Radios turn off and on. And a dark figure looms in the shadows of her bedroom door at night, watching her, waiting for her to finally let down her guard enough to fall asleep.
Pushed to her limits but unwilling to abandon her home, Leigh struggles to find answers. But each step forces her towards something more terrifying than she ever imagined.
A poisonous shadow seeps from the locked door beneath the stairs. The handle rattles through the night and fingernails scratch at the wood. Her home harbours dangerous secrets, and now that Leigh is trapped within its walls, she fears she may never escape.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a mixed bag. While some appreciate the suspense and the impactful ending, others feel that the book is dragged out and repetitive. The excessive use of dream sequences is also a point of criticism. Overall, the book has its moments but may not be for everyone.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Jan 1, 2025 I love this author but I just couldn't get interested in this book. It has one single character, in one single setting (her own house, at least for the first 3+hrs anyway) and just relentlessly describes her profound fear to something unknown over and over to the point where I just want to scream for her to just die already or stop being useless, seek help or start figuring it out already. I can't force myself to listen to another 8hrs of it ?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oct 30, 2024 Great book a lot of twists and an absolute page turner.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5May 10, 2024 It took me a bit to get into this story, but I’m glad I did. Well worth the listen!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Apr 18, 2024 A ghost tale that is haunting yet bittersweet towards the end!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Apr 3, 2024 It has really impactful ending but the bulk of the story relies a little too heavily on dream sequences to give it five stars.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Apr 3, 2024 Another amazing book by an amazing author. This will keep you guessing until the end.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Apr 3, 2024 I didn’t love it. It dragged out way too long. The author should have cut the main character’s “wandering around lost and confused and scared” sequences in half and it could have been a decent book. I typically listen to books at 1.2 or 1.5x faster, but this was so repetitive and the narrator spoke so slowly I listened to it at 2x faster. I don’t think I’ll read this author again.2 people found this helpful
