( ) Harriet, a bestselling novelist, is engaged to Edward, eldest son of one of the wealthiest families in America. Meeting his family turns out to be as unnerving as anticipated. Then as Christmas approaches the family invite Harriet to join in their strange “games” that are foreign to her, a new arrival from England. Thrilling, horrifying, but totally unrealistic, secrets emerge as the story progresses. Harriet should have escaped the in-laws from hell and run, as fast as she could, back to England at any point in this story. Even with the high level unbelievability, this is a book that is hard to put down as the reader joins Harriet in trying desperately to figure out what is going on. no reviews | add a review
