When I first set eyes on Westhill House with its breath-taking views of the sea I knew it was the perfect place for a fresh start.

 

The place may be falling apart, but it can be fixed with some tender loving care. And as Jack and I work to repair this beautiful building, maybe we can repair our relationship too. Maybe we can make Westhill House a refuge from all the tragedies that came before.

 

Lori has come to Westhill House for shelter too. She says it used to be a place where women went for safety. How can I turn her away, when violence waits for her outside these high walls?

 

But the longer Lori stays, the more time Jack spends away. And the more she helps me restore the house, the more secrets start to be revealed.

 

Like the children’s drawings under the wallpaper in the back bedroom.

 

The hidden papers underneath the floorboards in the turret room.

 

But why does Lori know so much about Westhill House, if she’s never been here before?

 

What does she really need protection from?

 

And now I’ve invited her into my dream house, is there any escape for either of us?

 

A gripping, spine-chilling read brimming with secrets and lies. If you loved The Girl on the Train, The Wife Between Us or The Woman in the Window then this dark, twisting psychological thriller from Amazon chart bestseller Jess Ryder is guaranteed to have you gripped.

Stella fell in love with an old big dilapidated house called Westhill House with its breath-taking views of the sea. This was a place women used to go to feel safe many years ago but closed down.
Stella is hoping this would be her forever home with her beloved partner Jack.
Stella and Jack moved from the city life to a the quiet seaside. Whilst Jack commutes to London for his job. Stella stays and watch the house come to life.
This house need everything done to it before it became that beautiful house. with a perfect garden to match its views
One evening a woman called Lori knocks on the door asking for help, Lori is a victim of domestic abuse. Stella takes her in and tries to help her. Jack thinks it's a bad idea to take Lori in.

There's a lot of great characters within this brilliant book and they all have a great part to play within the story and a lot of twists and turns that made this book a great read and hard to put down once you start to read it.

I would Highly Recommend this Book.....

5 Stars.
