Nina can never forgive Maggie for what she did. And she can never let her leave.

They say every house has its secrets, and the house that Maggie and Nina have shared for so long is no different. Except that these secrets are not buried in the past.

Every other night, Maggie and Nina have dinner together. When they are finished, Nina helps Maggie back to her room in the attic, and into the heavy chain that keeps her there. Because Maggie has done things to Nina that can’t ever be forgiven, and now she is paying the price.

But there are many things about the past that Nina doesn’t know, and Maggie is going to keep it that way—even if it kills her.

Because in this house, the truth is more dangerous than lies.

"A tense, thrilling read—I found it impossible to put down. It’s dark and twisted, and I loved it."—Alex Michaelides, bestselling author of The Silent Patient

I finished this book in record time. The story was heartbreaking but fabulous. The narrator, just impeccable. Couldn't have been any better. I've found my new favorite author and now I'm onto The One.

Every now and then a book just grabs you and won't let go. That is this book. The back and forth narration between Maggie (Mother) and Nina (daughter) is amazingly performed and the underlying tension is palpable. Make sure you clear your schedule - you will want to pursue this to the heart-stopping finish and it won't disappoint.

I discovered this author after watching "The One" on Netflix, and I will be definitely be reading many more by John Marrs!
