From Little Stack

Christmas has never been Allison’s favorite holiday. But for the sake of her girls, she plays along. Until her estranged mother calls. Mavis has only weeks to live, and though Allison’s childhood was filled with trauma and abuse, she agrees to let Mavis stay with them for her final days. Only, strange things start happening the moment Mavis arrives. And as the holiday cheer turns into a terrifying nightmare, Allison has to confront the demons of her past so that she can protect her family from the monster she’s invited in.

Publisher Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Children on the Hill, a psychological thriller about a woman who, after taking in her dying, alcoholic mother, begins to suspect demonic possession is haunting her family.

Alison has never been a fan of Christmas. But with it right around the corner and her husband busily decorating their cozy Vermont home, she has no choice but to face it. Then she gets the call. Mavis, Alison's estranged mother, has been diagnosed with cancer and has only weeks to live. She wants to spend her remaining days with her daughter's family. But Alison grew up with her mother's alcoholism and violent abuse and is reluctant to unearth these traumatic memories.

Still, she eventually agrees to take in Mavis, hoping that she and her mother could finally heal and have the relationship she's always dreamed of. But when mysterious and otherworldly things start happening upon Mavis's arrival, Alison begins to suspect her mother is not quite who she seems. And as the holiday festivities turn into a nightmare, she must confront just how far she is willing to go to protect her family.
