This book kept me in the edge of my seat and intrigued the entire time with a huge “didn’t see that one coming at the end.” Grace returns back to her husband’s childhood home to find some closure after her husband’s disappearance. She is meet with interesting neighbors, strange signs happening all around her with the ghost of the moors outside. As she struggles to find out what happened to her husband she also has to keep herself and her daughter safe but the dangers of the moors.

Meh. I did finish the book, so I can't say it was terrible. It was just annoying at times and dragged too much for me to give it a higher rating. I hope the author learns from this book and gets the hang of showing instead of telling, and leaves the internal questions/navel-gazing on the cutting room floor next time. She could be a good writer, but not until shit like that is fixed.
