About this audiobook

From YouTube sensation Marzia “CutiePieMarzia” Bisognin, an eerie thriller about a girl whose dream house quickly becomes a terrifying nightmare.

When Amethyst stumbles upon the house of her dreams, she can’t help but be enchanted by it, even if there’s something a little…off about the place.

It’s everything she’s ever wanted in a home, so when the owners, the Blooms, invite her to stay the night to avoid an impending storm, she instantly accepts.

Yet when she awakes the next morning, alone, Amethyst comes face-to-face with unexpected twists and turns—like Alfred, the creepy gardener; Avery, the handsome but secretive neighbor; and a little girl who keeps appearing and vanishing within the house.

As Amethyst searches for the Blooms and tries to unravel the truth, her connection to the house only grows stronger. Will she be able to break free of the house’s allure, or will its secrets keep her trapped forever?

    Just too many coincidences.I had been looking forward to reading this, especially as the author was coming to our annual literary festival. Unfortunately I found it rather disappointing and full of coincidences and premonitions that just didn't ring true.Kate and Simon are finding the 'rat race' of London exhausting. They never see each other and have no spare time to devote to their children. After much heart searching, they decide to move to rural Suffolk and into the village where Simon's mother lives. In fact, while they are house hunting, they move in with Simon's mother. When this temporary arrangement starts to become more long term and Simon seems to have lost interest in the search, Kate begins to feel that things are going wrong. She has given up her job, home and friends in London while Simon is still commuting weekly, ostensibly until he can find a job nearer to their new home.An old ramshakle house piques Kate's interest. It is owned by Agnes, an elderly lady with an interesting past, who becomes firm friends with Kate. Agnes's handyman, Dan, and great nephew, Max, also enter the fray to complicate matters.Some well drawn characters, but a bit long, with rather a predictable ending.As it turned out, when the author came to our festival, it was to lead a couple of workshops on creative writing (Hmmm), so I didn't get to hear the background behind the book as I had hoped. Oh well, you can't win them all :)

    A saga type novel, set in the present but involving some diaries that take us into flashbacks of the early part of the 20th century.

    Kate is finding her London job tiring, and worried that she spends too little time with her children. So when her husband Simon persuades her that they should sell their house, and buy somewhere bigger in the country, she is happy to do so. They stay at first with Simon's mother Joyce, and things seem to be going well... until Simon starts behaving strangely, and it's clear that there are problems afoot.

    Meanwhile Kate has a strange dream after buying a locket in a second-hand shop. Then she meets Agnes, a delightful old lady, and begins to explore the past through her eyes. A family tree at the start of the book means that some of the unexpected revelations in the book were not in fact surprises; others, later on, were fairly predictable.

    It took me a few days to get into the book, but I found the characters - particularly Kate - very believable and by the end found it hard to put down. There was a little too much use of coincidence, but it somehow seemed believable.

    Overall, very enjoyable. Recommended to anyone who enjoys women's saga type fiction.

    Another very good read from Rachel Hore. Like the earlier book of hers I read (A Place of Secrets) this book takes place in the current time (at a time of great change in the life of the lead character - Kate) and in the back story of Agnes (early 20th Century). The two story lines are managed quite well in the book, although it took a bit long in my opinion to get to the back story. I preferred A Place of Secrets (mainly as it was set much further in the past - which fits more with my interests) but I still enjoyed this book. I will continue to read other books by Rachel Hore. The book did leave one unanswered question for me. If you enjoy this genre of books I would be happy to recommend this one.
