Synopsis

"This plot isn't just twisted—it's down-right gnarled." —People Magazine

It takes a special family to turn a home into a nightmare.

Since her husband’s unsolved murder three years ago, Iris Blodgett’s life has unraveled. Awash in grief and buried in debt, she can’t pay her mortgage—and now that she’s lost her job, she has no idea how she’ll provide for her unruly teenage daughter, Ellory.

Facing eviction, Iris turns to her new beau, prominent architect Hugh Smoll, for a shoulder to cry on. But the seemingly perfect Hugh offers her something more: an invitation to move in to his mother’s centuries-old mansion while he renovates the property.

It seems like the perfect solution, but when Iris and Ellory arrive at Ravencliff, the family inside isn’t quite what they expected. Iris didn’t even know Hugh had siblings, much less that they’d all be living together.

With repairs underway, the house gives up its dark secrets one by one. Before long, Iris unearths a chilling family history—and the terrifying reason she and Ellory were invited in the first place…

Goodreads review by Nilufer on March 16, 2025

I'm addicted to twisty thrillers that pull the rug out from under you and make you scream "WTH!" at the end, proving the presence of a smart author who stays several steps ahead of the reader. These thrillers push you to use your gray cells harder to figure out the twists, but some still catch you o......more

Have you ever fallen head first into a book and lost track of time? Well, that’s exactly what happened to me with The Family Inside. From the dark, twisty plot to the deliciously dysfunctional family, I was wrapped up in the story from the very first word. Those weren’t the only stellar pieces to th......more
