About the Book

When Merri and Dev buy a ticket on the last day of a national draw to win the house of their dreams, they never, in a million years, expect to win.

Less than a week later, they’re receiving the keys to their new Lake District mansion.

For Dev, it’s a dream come true – no more stressful rent negotiations or waiting for the landlord to finally fix the damp. Of course he’s delighted to be interviewed about their good luck.

But Merri feels a little uneasy. Dev doesn’t realise there’s a reason she’s never wanted to put down roots, always trying to run away from the memories of what happened the day her little sister died.

At first, it’s easy to think she’s imagining the shadowy figures in the lakefront garden. It’s silly to think that someone is watching her through the gorgeous floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

And then a body is found in the lake. And Merri’s new perfect life is about to come crashing down…

My Review

This was such a good read! I know it’s crazy, but this is my first read by this author and I can’t wait to get into her other books!

There are dual timelines here and each of the timelines holds you in suspense. It’s hinted that something happened to Merri when she was young, but you don’t know what. And then there’s the present timeline and we know someone is after Merri, but there’s even more going on then we know! I thought that Slater weaved this all together brilliantly!

I did want more of Paige, Merri’s best friend. I would have liked to have had her come to their new house. I also really enjoyed Sarah as a character as well. She seemed like a friendly person, that anyone could get along with.

I had one suspicion through most of the book, and I’m pretty sure that I fell for what the author wanted me to! When the reveal happened, I was utterly shocked! I want to say more, but I won’t because I don’t want to give anything away. Just know, you’ll never guess this reveal!

So if you’ve read this author, or want to try a new author and love a great reveal, check this one out!
