It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime, a final adventure before settling down. But after a perfect start, an encounter with a young couple on a night train forces Daniel and Laura to cut their dream trip short and flee home.

Back in London, Daniel and Laura vow never to talk about what happened that night. But as they try to fit into their old lives again, they realize they are in terrible danger—and that their nightmare is just beginning…

Well that was quite a ride! I spend most of the book trying to figure out what the heck was going on. This was a twisty thriller, and I actually got a bit frustrated with how long the author drew out the suspense. For goodness sake, I just wanted to know what happened at that creepy house in the woods! Needless to say, this book kept me reading. At times I thought both Laura and Daniel were loony toons, and I was beginning to wonder if some things really happened.

I was convinced that since there was so much suspense leading up to what happened, it was going to be a big let down when it all was finally revealed. In the end, it wasn't a let down, and I was so glad of that, even though once we started getting those parts of the story, it was easy to piece together what was going on in that house. The thing that kept me most intrigued was trying to figure out how all the events fit together, or if they were completely unrelated. Some of the events seemed a bit far-fetched, while others seemed pretty plausible.

I loved that this book kept me guessing, so that automatically gives it 4 stars, and I didn't see that last twist coming at all, so that was another plus. The thing I had a hard time with, was some of the things that happened were pretty hard to read about. After reading this, I am most certainly going to try another book by this author.
