Her perfect life is unravelling. And somebody close to her is pulling the threads.
Steffi Woodgrove should be the happiest woman alive. She lives in a gorgeous house with her fiancé, Tom, his adorable daughter and the new baby she has always longed for.
But Steffi hasn’t told anyone that there have been several near misses involving the children. That she’s frightened to go upstairs in her own house. Or that her childhood imaginary friend has come back, whispering instructions on how to look after the baby.
Convinced she’s hallucinating from sleep deprivation, Steffi hires the ‘Sleep Fairy’ — a baby guru who she found online. She can’t tell Tom that she’s struggling. Not after what happened to his first wife.
But Steffi begins to realise that people are keeping secrets from her. There’s something about her childhood that doesn’t add up. Something dark, lurking just beyond the reaches of her memory. Can she trust anyone, after believing so many lies? Can she even trust herself?
There’s something terrifying at the heart of her beloved family. It may cost her everything to protect the ones she loves.
Escape into this stunning psychological thriller, with heart-stopping twists and an ending you won’t see coming.
