Keep the door locked…
Sam is excited to spend a week at her uncle’s remote lake cabin. It’s a chance for her to focus on her art without distractions: no neighbours, no phone, and a small radio as her only contact with the outside world.
But there’s something deeply unnatural lingering in the lake.
The radio’s news reports talk about disappearances on a nearby hiking trail. The car won’t start. And Sam starts to believe she’s being stalked when she catches glimpses of a tall, strange man standing at the end of her dock, staring intently into the swirling waters below…
Wow.
Darcy Coates has done it again. I was sucked into the story so quickly that I almost didn’t realise when it came close to the end.
Sam is an aspiring painter who is neck deep in painters block. Luckily, her uncle, Pete, has a remote cabin on a picturesque lake that has the potential to give Sam her much needed inspiration.
But not all is as it seems on the banks of Harob Lake. A string of missing hikers lead to something dangerous living in the woods surrounding the lake.
Sam is completely cut off from civilisation at the cabin, and everything is getting dark.
I was swept away by the imagery in this novel. Ms Coates has an amazing ability to ensnare the imagination and allow for the reader to become immersed into the situations.
Darcy is the USA Today Bestselling author of Hunted, The Haunting of Ashburn House, Craven Manor, and more than a dozen horror and suspense titles. She lives on the Central Coast of Australia with her family, cats, and a garden full of herbs and vegetables. Darcy loves forests, especially old-growth forests where the trees dwarf anyone who steps between them. Wherever she lives, she tries to have a mountain range close by.
