In a small quaint town in the British countryside, Daphne has returned to her childhood home after the untimely death of her mother. Broken by her loss, she is left to return as was her mother’s most frequent request if something was to happen to her. Being fresh into adulthood, she is not wholly aware of what to do or how to feel. After her first night back, a family is murdered at the head of the lane - and the police cannot locate the killer. The people and occurrences in the neighborhood seem to take a sudden and frightening turn shortly after that. The police are acting weird, too. When Daphne starts to sense she truly isn’t alone, she begins to question herself and most of all, her sanity. Is this a case of mass hysteria, or is something more serious and sinister at play?
I really enjoyed this debut by Baker! I am a hardcore w****e for anything that has even the slightest hint of the supernatural. There was a very direct message in the character development that I also see as very important: To not go through life being invisible. You make your life what it is. This was a very interesting take and was perfect in the novella formatting (<250 pages) The format enabled the story to take off, fly and land in a seamless fashion and didn't need any embellishments. My final thought: When do we get a sequel?!

What a wonderful debut novella! I very much wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into! I’m a fan of psychological thrillers and scary books, but the supernatural in this one took my emotions to a new level. I even had to set it down at night in order to sleep! The storyline and character development are superb and I look forward to the author writing more about this main character! There are definitely more adventures in store for her!
