Lena and her two children live in a windowless shack deep in the woods, prisoner to the rules set by their captor, the father. He says he is protecting them from the outside world, but when Lena manages to escape, she learns the nightmare hasn't ended. Instead, is she really "Lena," the girl who disappeared 14 years ago? Or is she someone else, scarred to look like Lena? And even though she has escaped, why does she feel like someone is still watching her, waiting to take her back into the woods?
This is a chilling, page-turner of a thriller. A blend of psychological thriller with an edge of horror, the author gives us compelling characters and enough unreliable narrators to keep you guessing until the very end.
Good for readers who enjoyed Room, Gone Girl, and who like unreliable (yet relatable) narrators. You may sleep with the light on after you finish this book.
