Our dream home was supposed to be a fresh start before our baby arrived.
My husband Jamie and I poured all our savings into this isolated, 1920s fixer-upper in the Hampshire woods, hoping it would be the perfect place to raise our child and for me to write my next novel.
But from the moment we crossed the threshold, dark omens told me it was a huge a mistake...
A petrified crow crashes into our kitchen window.
Scratching sounds echo from behind the locked basement door.
A terrifying message scrawled in thick red paint: HELP US.
All lead me to find out the horrible truth... something terrible happened in this house and the house wants its revenge.
Jamie thinks I'm losing my mind, but I know there is something sinister lurking within these walls, waiting for my child.
I have to uncover the truth about what really happened in that basement-before this cursed house claims my family next...
