About this ebook

“Creepy… menacing. A unique, atmospheric story.” — Snazzy Books

Every family has its secrets. Every secret has its price.

After years of surviving their mother’s cruelty, siblings Elise and Sebastian finally find peace living with their grandmother in an isolated woodland house. But when tragedy strikes one sweltering summer day, the children are left completely alone.

Elise is determined to protect her younger brother. But instead of calling for help, she insists they hide from the outside world — no matter the cost.

As Sebastian grows suspicious of his sister’s choices, long-buried memories begin to surface. The woods hold more than just grief. They hide a chilling secret tied to their mother’s disappearance. And now that secret is coming for them.

The Hiding House is a chilling psychological thriller about siblings and dark family secrets — perfect for fans of emotionally gripping suspense and slow-burning tension.

A mother that has issues with what happened to her as a child. She leaves her children with her mother since she has alcohol problems to drown out her past. Elsie and Sebastian live with their Nana. One day Nana is on her rocking chair on the front porch and is dead. Elsie does not want to go to foster care so the children hide the body in a coal shed. A shadow man, as Sebastian calls him, holds the children captive. A suspenseful novel that keeps your interest.

A horrifying read! I enjoyed reading this story. The struggle of young children having to deal with grown-up problems and situations is horrifying. Yet in our world it is something that happens all too often. This story will keep you captivated from the start till the end.
