Publisher's Summary
A spellbinding novel about an unspeakable secret that could destroy a family, from the New York Times bestselling author of Finding Emma.
Elle is a survivor. She’s managed to piece together a solid life from a childhood of broken memories and fairy tales her mom told her to explain away bad dreams. But weekly visits to her mother still fill Elle with a paralyzing fear she can’t explain. It’s just another of so many unanswered questions she grew up with in a family estranged by silence and secrets.
Elle’s world turns upside down when she receives a deathbed request from her grandfather, a man she was told had died years ago. Racked by grief, regrets, and a haunted conscience, he has a tale of his own to tell Elle: about her mother, an imaginary friend, and two strangers who came to the house one night and never left.
As Elle’s past unfolds, so does the truth - if she can believe it. She must face the reasons for her inexplicable dread. As dark as they are, Elle must listen…before her grandfather’s death buries the family’s secrets forever.

Would not listen again
I judge a book by whether I would read it again, recommend it to others and did I gain anything from reading/listening to this story. I would not listen gain, I would not recommend it and all I gained was frustration.
I am so over weak women characters, especially ones that claim to be strong and independent.
The time it took characters to work out what had happened and their reactions to situations was unrealistic and sometimes just stupid. There are wholes in the plot and things that don't add up. Unfortunately I was travelling while listening so had no opportunity to get another book or I would not have persevered.
I will be returning this book, but they do not let you leave a review once you have returned it, which is wrong as you don't get an honest overview of reviews. What I would like to see is how many people returned a book before I buy it.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
