About this ebook

She thought she’d escaped her poisonous past…


Thirteen years ago, Maggie Ellis left her small town and vowed to never return. In her rearview mirror were two men she loved and an ominous secret that would forever haunt her. 


Now, tragedy has brought her back, and she’s determined to forget that fateful night. But in a town like Myers, with familiar faces and chilling memories lurking around every corner, moving on is easier said than done. 


Before the ink can dry on the closing documents for her new residence, Maggie begins to feel unsettled. In every room, there’s the unmistakable sensation she’s being watched. The strange sounds, odd smells, and bizarre occurrences only add to her paranoia.


There’s something sinister about her new home…


When she discovers the devastating truth about the house and its grim history, Maggie’s worst fears are realized. In order to survive, she must unearth the secrets she’d always planned to keep buried.


After all, they say that home is where the heart is, but as Maggie knows, home is also where the skeletons lie.


Seamlessly blurring the edges between psychological thriller and romantic suspense, million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin brings us a dark and twisted romantic thriller, perfect for fans of Verity, Tell Me Lies, The Ghost Writer, and YOU.

When it comes to Kiersten's books this one has jumped to the top as my favorite! I mean it starts off with such an intense panic by the character you are swept right in! With a captivating mix of spicy romance (not too much), mystery and suspense, this story will leave you feeling like your heart is pounding with anticipation. This book had plenty of unexpected surprises. There were a few out loud OMGs, lol, throughout the book. The clever writing of Kiersten's captures your attention and keeps you guessing as you try to unravel what the heck is going on with this house. Character wise, I fell in love with Tucker. Just his persona and the way he was with Maggie. Speaking of Maggie, I really felt bad for her and was rooting her on as she tried to make sense of the chaos around her. I mean the plot just kept escalating as Maggie was making startling discoveries and uncovering secrets that have long been hidden.

Twisted thriller that also superbly combines romantic suspense! Maggie is a vulnerable young woman who has just lost her mother and returned to her hometown, only to be faced with a past that will not stop haunting her. The plot twists are remarkably well-written and the characters are dynamic and realistically portrayed. I loved this book and I think it is my favorite multi-genre book ever! All opinions expressed are my own.

This novel makes you lose sleep because you cannot put it down. Two men who Maggie has loved. One is a childhood friend and the other she met later. She finally makes a choice, but discovers a betrayal and leaves the area, but returns years later. The book shows two timelines past and present. A number of twists and a conclusion that is unexpected.
