Last updated on 30 Jun 2023One fateful night, Kara is dragged out of bed by her older sister, Marnie and told to hide in the attic and to be quiet as something bad has happened. Marnie leaves Kara alone in the dark and after a while Kara gather the courage to open the attic door to see where her family is. She finds her brother, Donner slaughtered and her parents also dead. Her other brother, Jonas is injured, but no sign of Marnie. A man sees Kara and she runs and escapes into the woods.
Twenty years later, Kara is the lone survivor of that dreadful night, Marnie was never found and Jonas was sentenced to prison for the tragedy as was his sword used as the murder weapon. Kara seeks regular psychological therapy to help deal with the events of that night and her fears are escalated when she hears Jonas is about to be released.
An accelerating read with complex characters that will keep those pages turning. The events of that night are not clear cut and Kara eventually finds out the truth. A suspenseful book and highly recommended. Some aspects are a bit farfetched, but let that go!
