From Little Stack

Emily Freud is one of my favourite authors, and I still think about this book often since reading it back in 2023!

What She Left Behind follows Lauren who has escaped her old London life, starting afresh with her new partner, Paul, and his children. A ready-made family. Lauren fears she’ll never live up to the ghost of Paul’s wife or help him forget his grief. But when rumours begin to swirl about their house in the secluded woods, Lauren feels isolated, despite Paul’s reassurances. She wants to trust Paul, but how can she, when can barely trust herself?

This book is chilling to its core and incredibly dark. I dare you not to race through this one in a day!
