Summary
They were told to leave. They should have listened.
The perfect opportunity…
A manor house available rent-free to house-sitters is an offer too good to miss for Cass and James, who have been saving for a deposit on their own home for so long.
Although it had been abandoned for almost thirty years, after a home invasion left almost all the inhabitants dead, it is an amazing chance for them to build their future.
But is it worth the price?
Shortly after moving in things take a sinister turn. Objects disappear and turn up in odd places, the clock always stops at the same time, the house is strangely oppressive and sometimes it feels like Cass and James are not alone.
Newington House may have bad energy, and a dark reputation. But surely there’s no reason for history to repeat itself, is there?

Wow 😮
Gripping read. Huge twist at the end. Didn't see it coming. Great narration. I don't know what else to say.

Excellent psychological thriller
I really enjoyed the twists and turns of the book, the characters really stood out and going back in to the past was weaved in really well

Dark, creepy, twisty thriller
James and Cass are in a fairly new relationship and when he loses his home because his landlord is selling up, he and Cass are offered a job as live-in caretakers at Newington House, a creepy old manor house. They move in and soon learned that the house was once the scene of a horrific crime where a family were butchered. Soon strange things start to happen!
What a book!! It is written in dual time-frames - now and 30 years ago. It is superbly plotted and had me hooked right from the start and Louise Jensen continues to build the tension with so many twists and turns that I didn't know which way was up! I thought I had it all worked out, but I was oh so wrong and always a step behind! The house feels so creepy and I could feel the hairs on my arms standing on end. The characters feel realistic, and James and Cass are very likeable. An easy 5*
I enjoyed the narration by Helen Keeley.

Disappointing
I liked the synopsis, and thought it sounded promising. But as the story went on, I became increasingly irritated by the narration: the character Cass's voice goes all panic-stricken and wobbly right from the start, over-reacting to the smallest of hitches or setbacks, so by the time we reach the genuinely unsettling events, we have become accustomed to the 'wobbly voice' as normal, thus reducing much of the tension. A case of 'the boy who cried wolf'. As the story progresses and the twist is revealed, it becomes more and more laboured and unlikely; there are too many coincidences for credibility, too. I found the various name-changes that the plot requires were confusing and distracting. By the end, characters are behaving completely against type, for the sake of the plot. I only kept listening in an act of doomed optimism, and would have returned it way before the end if Audible had let me!
