Book Synopsis

'A fast-paced and frightening debut that explores the nightmares of new motherhood, with plenty of twists and scares' Rachel Harrison, author of Black Sheep

A new mother in need of help opens her door to her long-estranged mother, only to invite something much darker inside, in this 'fast-paced and frightening debut' (Rachel Harrison) about the long shadows cast by family secrets, perfect for readers of Grady Hendrix or Ashley Audrain.

Flora is a new mum enamored of her baby girl, Iris, even if she arrived a few weeks early. With her husband on deployment, Flora navigates the newborn stage alone. But as the sleepless nights pass in the loneliness of their half-empty home, the edges of her reality begin to blur.

Just as Flora becomes convinced she is losing her mind, a surprising guest shows up to help: Flora's own mother, to whom she hasn't spoken in years. Can they mend their fraught relationship? Or is there more
