This book pulls you right into Alex’s high-tension plight. This mother of two is doing the best she can, seeking a place of solace, a new rural community to keep her children happy and safe.
At first glance, picturesque Pine Ridge checks all the boxes, an exciting new start for this small family. In the shadows of the forest surrounding Pine Ridge lies a dark history and rumors of a witch who patiently lurks nearby.
The illusion of protection falls away when gruesome gifts begin to arrive, bizarre tokens left on the doorstep by a menace thought to be a rumor. Pine Ridge may not be the refuge Alex originally thought it was.
I really liked the creepy vibe lying just below the surface throughout the story as we decipher what is real and what is idle gossip, to discover hidden truths of this seemingly idyllic community.
I’d like to thank NetGalley and Minotaur Books for an advanced copy of The Shadow House for my unbiased evaluation. 4 stars
