The House on Cold creek Lane by Liz Alterman
The House on Cold Creek Lane has this undertone of something sinister and I was hooked from page one. The narration was fantastic too!
So Laurel and her family move into a new home. Little does she know what transpired at the house before she bought it. Something tragic happened there and now Laurel can feel something lurking in the shadows.
The book comes from POV from Laurel the new owner of the house and Corey. Corey lives with her mother after the loss of her daughter.
The book is loaded with family drama and unreliable characters and I loved being so wrong footed. It was moderately paced which worked for the book and I enjoyed the suspense. It will lead you on a merry chase in circles before it blows your mind!
If you love thrillers, add this one to your TBR
