Having unknowingly triggered a series of events by their very arrival, with secrets held by the farmhouse playing a part, the Kemps walk into a dangerous situation that leads to death, devastation and terror...
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book - the plot was fast-paced and engaging, the writing was beautiful, and I was intrigued by the mystery so much, that I needed to know who was involved, and why. I give this book an A! and will certainly be keeping an eye open for more books by this author to read. I must say that I have never read any books by this particular author before.
