When single mother Alex flees her abusive relationship and moves with her teenage son and baby girl to a rural ecovillage, she thinks she's made the best decision of her life. Pine Ridge is idyllic: the off-grid lifestyle and remote location are perfect, and the community is welcoming - mostly. Charmed by its magnetic founder, Kit, and the natural beauty of the former farmland, Alex settles easily into her new home. But her arrival at Pine Ridge disturbs barely submerged secrets, and she's shaken by a series of eerily familiar events that seem to be connected to the abandoned farmhouse on the hill. Alex realises that, in escaping her own shadowy past, she may have stumbled into someone else's. And this time, there may be nowhere to run. From international bestselling thriller writer Anna Downes, The Shadow House lures you in and keeps you on edge at every turn.

This is a fast paced, creepy and haunting thriller about families, communities and superstitions.
Six years ago, 14 year old Gabriel disappeared from his rural home. Some claimed he was taken by the devil, some say it was a witch, but no one has answers and he was never found. Now, Alex arrives in a newly established eco-village with her two children wanting a fresh start - only, strange “gifts” keep appearing on their doorstep. Bone. Doll. Blood. Are the events of the past about to repeat themselves?
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this book.
