Rebecca and her husband Stefan, along with is 16-year-old daughter, decided to move from New York to Redemption, Wisconsin to have a fresh start. The law firm he works for is having problems and their marriage is on life support. Rebeccas aunt, Charlie Kingsley, left her a house that they can move into, sell and hopefully get back to their life in New York, a little better off than before.
The house has a violent past and the locals believe it to be haunted. Rebecca is thrust back into a house, where 15 years before, she nearly died and lost her memory. Stefan is working in New York while she remains to get the house ready to sell and strange things start happening. She keeps misplacing things, (or is she?), losing pockets of time and her stepdaughter starts sleepwalking and acting really strange. Rebecca is having nightmares and horrible headaches and believes she is seeing ghosts. Everything comes to a head one night when her stepdaughter is found sleepwalking yet again, but this time Stefan is there, and he accuses Rebecca of trying to attack them both and has her committed. Can Rebecca find out the truth about what's really going on before it's too late?
Throughout the story I really disliked Stefan even before we find out who is really is at the end. Hes controlling, condescending and abusive. This book has it all. Its part paranormal, part horror, part ghost story and part psychological thriller. This could be read as a standalone, but it is part of a series with the next book discussing what happened during the time when Rebecca was 16 and lost her memory after a party one night with her friends. I highly recommend this story and really anything by this author. I have not read anything by her that I have not liked.
