Description
“Andrea Mara is a star.” —Lee Child
You thought you were home alone.
Anya is enjoying a relaxing bath when she hears a noise coming from the ceiling. Through the open bathroom door, she sees the attic hatch swing down, and a masked figure drops to the floor. Thirty seconds later, Anya is dead.
You're not afraid of being alone in the dark. You're afraid you're not alone.
Across town, Anya's old school friend, Julia, sees an online video of a masked figure climbing out of an attic. She suddenly realizes why the footage is eerily familiar: it was filmed inside her own house in a luxury gated community, designed to keep intruders out.
And now your worst fears are coming true.
Why would a stranger target Julia? Unless of course, it's not a stranger at all.

Creepy. Creepy. Creepy! Bumps in the night. A wild story about a young friends group years later when they all have their separate lives except the one who died those years ago. And then a second one dies. Oof. Is it some creepy internet freak or someone from their past? I flew through this one- couldn’t put it down!
Thank you so much to Viking/Pamela Dorman Books for the ARC!
WOW- I absolutely loved this one. I decided to pick it up based on the cover alone and I'm so glad I did! The story starts out with a BANG- my jaw was on the floor from the first chapter!
This mystery had so much drama, so many layers and SO many twists and turns. I love it when instead of one major twist, the reader is given many along the way! I didn't trust any of these characters and I had NO idea how this would end!
Andrea Mara definitely did an incredible job building suspense along the way. The pacing was great, I was never bored, and I loved the ending!
I highly highly recommend this one, especially for fans of NIGHTWATCHING by Tracy Sierra!
I don't know how this is the first book I've read by Andrea, but her other books have INCREDIBLE ratings on GR, so I'll definitely be binging her backlist books and on the lookout for what she puts out in the future.
This will be available on August 20th!
