Description

After a devastating breakup and a jarring rupture at work, Cassie flees New York for the quiet woods of New Jersey, where a rekindled connection with her high school best friend, Eli, quickly turns into marriage and a new life as a stepmother. But the home she’s moved into feels haunted in more ways than one—by Beth’s lingering presence, by Cassie’s intrusive harm-OCD thoughts, and by the unsettling sense that the past is still actively shaping the present. As Cassie grows closer to her reserved neighbor, Joan, and begins to hear a voice narrating the house’s secrets, she’s forced to confront what she’s been avoiding: the truth behind Beth’s untimely death and the cost of the life Cassie thought she could remake. With vivid, propulsive storytelling and a crackling blend of psychological tension and gothic atmosphere, this novel explores identity, grief, belonging, and the thin line between love and fear.
