This book delves into the dark secrets of a family in a very nicely written manner.

Picture yourself as a wealthy individual with a glamorous spouse and two lovely kids, immersed in a life of extravagance filled with parties, alcohol, and exclusive school amenities. However, gradually, you begin to lose all that holds significance for you - your assets, investments, and business, essentially losing grip on your own life. Forced to withdraw your children from school to make ends meet, you must take drastic measures to regain control and survive. Yet, in this vulnerable state, another family exploits your situation by moving into your mansion, your sole remaining possession. They gradually seize authority over your home, possessions, family, leaving you in a state of utter powerlessness, fostering your submission. However, this narrative does not revolve around you; it centers on the children ensnared in this turmoil. It portrays their harrowing ordeal, living as captives in their own residence, enduring physical and mental abuse, deprived of basic necessities like food, shoes, and freedom. Moreover, it unfolds the chilling account of three deceased individuals and an infant.

Told from the perspectives of three different characters, this psychological thriller of a book is enough to keep you awake at night, engrossed in the plotlines. While it starts off slowly, it quickly gains momentum and becomes a gripping page-turner. With elements of a cult, a sociopath, obsessive relationships, and family drama, the story is constantly engaging. The character of Henry towards the end raises questions - he is unreliable, somewhat erratic, but is there goodness in him? This ambiguity kept me intrigued. Overall, a very captivating albeit dark and twisted read.
