Description
Jude Craig is a level-headed teacher in a Yorkshire secondary school. Within a matter of days her professional and personal life is shattered by a series of strange events in her house. What starts with the sound of papers fluttering to the floor quickly escalates to her discovering that someone has been in the house whilst she is sleeping. When Jude is driven out of her job and home she is forced to discover whether she is being haunted, stalked by a pupil, or the terrifying possibility that she is losing her mind.

Was Jude's house haunted?
or... was Jude being stalked?
or... was Jude losing her mind???
Jude, a teacher, lives alone with her dog, Oscar. Steve and Lisa are Jude's best friends.
It started with the sound of paper falling. Or did it start with a call from Laura Wilson, parent of Josh, a temperamental student at Jude's school? Or was it something even darker?
An exciting book by Jess Whitby! I really enjoyed the consistent manner of writing and build up to the end!
It is one of those books where the reader continues to change their mind as to who (if anyone) is messing with Jude's mind.
Recommend.
Thanks to Jess Whitby & NetGalley for a good, fast, read!

Thanks to the author for sorting out another ARC for me due to printing errors with first version.
This was one of those books that really kept me guessing and, even better, I couldn't guess which I loved!
I wanted to keep reading to find out what was happening to Jude. Recommended read.

This was a good story with a twist at the end that I didn't see coming but i found it difficult to read because of the missing letters "i's" "f''s and the occasional "l" also there were no spaces between some of the words.

This is not my preferred genre, in fact it’s a genre I avoid because I generally find it corny.
Whitby is an excellent author and I was hooked right from the start. Nonetheless when I figured out what was going on I lost interest and more or less scanned the remainder to get a gist of the overall ending.
As a fan of psychological suspense thrillers I can say Whitby has a true talent for keeping you on the edge of your seat. I read the entire book in one day. If Whitby branches out from the paranormal I’d be happy to read it.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me the pleasure of reading this prerelease.
