\u201cYou\u2019re not afraid of being alone in the dark. You\u2019re afraid you\u2019re\u00a0not\u00a0alone.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Anya is enjoying a relaxing bath when she hears a noise coming from the ceiling. Through the open bathroom door, she sees the attic hatch swing down, and a masked figure drops to the floor. Thirty seconds later, Anya is dead.
Across town, Anya\u2019s old school friend, Julia, sees an online video of a masked figure climbing out of an attic. She suddenly realizes why the footage is eerily familiar: it was filmed inside her own house in a luxury gated community, designed to keep intruders out.
Why would a stranger target Julia? Unless of course, it\u2019s not a stranger at all.<\/p>\n

This book started off so promising. It was eerie and I was flipping the pages like a mad man. The book was definitely giving off\u00a0\u2018just one more chapter\u2019<\/em>\u00a0vibes and I was so sure this was going to be a guaranteed 5 star read. Unfortunately, it started to fail around halfway through when different sub plots were being mentioned and dragged out. I would be feeling the ominous atmospheric vibes then the next chapter will change to something completely different and take me out of my element (not in a good way). I can see the author was trying to add in so many red herrings to throw me off, but I was more annoyed with them all than intrigued. I\u2019ll give it to the author, though for bamboozling me on the whodunit. Thought I had it, but she got me!<\/p>\n

I gave this novel 3.5 stars. There\u2019s nothing blatantly wrong other than being very middle-of-the-road. I couldn\u2019t recall anything particularly unique about it, from plot, character, to its overall presentation, all the usual tricks are here. The reveal was a letdown (though I did enjoy a moment of bait-and-switch in the middle), with its explanation not quite convincing me worthy of the whole convoluted operation. Plus, the novel has one of the most long-winded epilogue I\u2019ve ever read in recent years.<\/p>\n
