This is one of those creepy-dark novels that both delight and amaze you! Rob and Jacey move to England so Rob can take a position at the local university. Jacey is excited as her grandmother lived close to where they will settle and even though they don't know anyone there, they are certain they will make friends easily. But the house they move into is huge and immediately Jacey begins hearing odd sounds--what she calls "the hollowing--and sees a young boy outside kicking a rubber ball. But no one else can hear or see what she does and she becomes paranoid when Rob confronts her and seems to pull away when she acts "crazy." And then she finds letters her own mother has written to her husband; what is going on and why does nothing make sense anymore?? I raced through this one as I had to know!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

This is a good gothic style thriller, that ticks the boxes of all the usual tropes. That said, it’s an intelligently written novel that deserves success, I really did enjoy it! I think it would make a great movie!

It was going to be the perfect year abroad! Rob assures his wife it will be an adventure they won't forget, living in a gothic mansion in England! She goes along thinking it'll be great for their marriage! As soon as they arrive though she starts hearing noises then voices! Why can't anyone else hear these things?! Then there's a little boy but nobody van see him either! Her husband is now acting strange very stand offish, dismissive, and when I bring things up he says its all in my head! Something strange is going on with the people in town and her husband and she needs to find out! This book was a good read! I definitely think its worth reading! I would recommend it! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
