Christmas. A time for family, friends . . . and enemies?

Nicola is returning to her family home for the Christmas holidays to spend the festive season with her loved ones for the first time in several years. But she gets a shock when she discovers that there will be an unexpected guest joining them for dinner on the big day. Their elderly neighbor, Barbara, will be present at the table too after receiving an invitation from Nicola's parents because they hated to think of the old woman spending the day alone.

That is a big problem for Nicola, although she struggles to let her family members know why. As far as they are concerned, Barbara is just the sweet old lady from next door. But Nicola knows the truth. That woman is not all she seems. And now she is in their house . . .

Forced to confront several demons from her past, Nicola struggles through Christmas Day. But as difficult as it is to face the past, nothing is as hard as what happens next. It seems that Barbara has been waiting for Nicola to return home after all these years. Now she has, things will never be the same again . . .

Just enough

This book gave just enough information and details to paint a picture without having detailed descriptions. It was carefully wrapped up with the perfect ending.

Oh give me a break!! 😫🙄

I had to practically listen to this whole book before anything start happening. For a 40 year old she sure worst than Tony. I hope this was your first book because this is an unreasonable and idiotic story so not believable.
Seriously!!!😒
Keeping such a secret at that age and a health professional beside that. 🤦‍♀️

Horrible Monsters

I really liked the ending with a twist! Happy justice! A great story overall about the worst possible subject/ scenarios.

Calling1

This was very sick family, and this happen All over the world right now as write review it is happening now

Meh

I get this is a tough topic.. but it took 13 chapters before the story got beyond the main character eluding to bad things.
The story could have had more substance. Disappointed.

Good book but with child abuse

A well-written book but stories about child abuse make me very sad. I think if somebody had warned me, I wouldn’t have read it.

Great book

Ignore sb reviews - another great one! Loved the twist and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Don’t judge a book by its cover

Daniel Hurst is an amazing story teller! This was a really great listen and I wished I could have heard it all in one sitting. To be honest there was a scene where Nicola was asked to get the cake from next door. I honestly believe she should have purposefully tripped on the way back and dropped the cake on the ground. But that’s just me. Some secrets aren’t meant to be kept and I feel she should have told her parents and saved years of grief.

Ignore SB's Reviews

I've noticed "SB" posts fake nasty reviews on all Daniel's books. Apparently it's personal and petty. The books have all been good and I am glad I recognized a vendetta and ignored them. If the person actually hated his writing so much, why keep buying every book as soon as it comes out?

Really good

This book is worth listening to, it started a little slow but pick up really quick
