Whoa what a crazy psychological suspense. I couldn't put it down. This story is told from multiple perspectives and has several twists. 


A married couple goes on vacation in the middle of February to Scotland to save their failing marriage. The wife won a contest at work to stay at an old chapel in the countryside that's been converted to a house. Strange things and uncanny coincidences keep happening during their stay. Also -- they aren't alone. Both the husband and wife have secrets, so who really is the reliable narrator?

made me uneasy and curious the whole way through and that ending wow. I need to buy a physical copy of this to simply reread and highlight and take notes in the margins. very pleased with the pacing and the seemingly endless twists at the end. all I ever want a thriller to be <3
