The novel follows the story of a young girl who went missing, and her return years later, transformed into someone else. With supernatural elements woven into the plot, the book builds a palpable sense of dread in every page. If you enjoy unsettling and atmospheric novels in the vein of Stephen King, you won't want to miss this one. The Daily Mail calls C.J. Tudor "Britain's female Stephen King", and this book confirms that reputation.

THEN

One night, my little sister went missing.

There were searches, appeals. Everyone thought the worst.

And then, miraculously, she came back.

She couldn't, or wouldn't, say what had happened.

But she wasn't the same afterwards. She wasn't my Annie.

Because sometimes my own little sister scared me to death . . .

NOW

The email arrives in my inbox:

I know what happened to your sister.

It's happening again . . .
