Every room has a secret. Every secret has a price.
Rachel thought marrying Lucas Price would be the beginning of her happily ever after.
Instead, moving into Crestwood, his sprawling seaside estate, feels more like stepping into a nightmare.
The shadow of his first wife, Eliza—who died in a tragic fall from the cliffs—haunts every corner of their new home. When ghostly apparitions begin appearing and mysterious messages warn Rachel to leave, she questions her own sanity.
Lucas dismisses her fears and refuses to discuss what happened to Eliza, leaving Rachel isolated and paranoid. Desperate to get to the truth, she starts to investigate Eliza’s death.
In a house where nothing is as it seems and everyone has something to hide, Rachel must confront not only the ghosts of the past but the buried trauma of her own dark memories.
And when she finally gets closer to Crestwood’s horrifying secret, she realizes she’s in danger of losing everything she cares about. Including her life.
Theo Baxter loves writing psychological suspense thrillers. It’s all about that last reveal that he loves shocking readers with.
He grew up in New York, where there was crime all around. He decided to turn that into something positive with his fiction.
His stories will have you reading through the night—they are very addictive!
My thoughts: Rachel clearly never read Rebecca or Bluebeard – if you’re the second wife, be prepared to be haunted by either the dead wife or the husband’s terrible secrets behind locked doors. She’s dealing with both.
Moving into Crestwood, the house her husband and his late wife Eliza designed and built is where her nightmares begin. She thinks there might be a ghost, even if everyone around her insists that’s not possible. Her husband is keeping secrets and has locked the bedroom next to theirs, and won’t discuss it.
But then things start happening even after her therapist switches up her meds to help her sleep. Someone blocks the doors to the room Rachel is working in, someone who can move through the house unseen.
Lucas needs to start talking – the secrets he’s keeping might hold the answers or at least reassure Rachel that he isn’t involved.
There’s a shocking twist and once Rachel starts to get to the truth, she’s not crazy, Lucas has kept a lot from her, and their lives could be the cost.
Clever, full of twists and with a protagonist I really felt sorry for, put in a terrifying situation that’s not her fault.
