"He promised her love. What she got was something unspeakable . . .
Natalie Beaumont has is all: a charming husband, two beautiful children, and a house nestled in one of Pennsylvania's most admired suburbs. To anyone passing by, she's the picture of devotion and domestic bliss.
But behind closed doors, Natalie is unraveling. And her mother-in-law won't leave her alone.
Strange dreams haunt her sleep. Her husband, Martin, insists she's just tired. That she worries too much. That she should trust him. And so, he plans a trip—a surprise weekend away at his family's remote cabin by the lake. No children. No distractions. Just the two of them.
Natalie is unsure but Martin is insistent. And Natalie always obeys. But what waits beyond the trees is something far darker than she could ever have imagined.
Because some homes aren't built to keep you safe, they're built to keep you prisoner . . .
Unspeakable is a chilling, story of control, complicity, and the dark rituals families keep buried. Perfect for fans of The Last House on Needless Street, The Push, and Sharp Objects."
"With a friend like her, you'll never be alone again . . .
Leah Hunter has spent years mastering calm in the face of chaos. As a 911 dispatcher, she guides strangers through the worst moments of their lives. Then Amber joins the team. She seems friendly, helpful and attentive. But what begins as admiration soon becomes unsettling.
A strange gift left on Leah's desk. A message she doesn't remember sending. Items moved around her home. Now Leah is being watched. And the walls are closing in.
And when someone close to Leah disappears, the truth becomes impossible to outrun . . .
Obsession has a breaking point, and when it comes, will Leah be able to tell if she's running from a predator or from her own unraveling mind?
A slow-burn descent into paranoia and possession, The Friend asks:
What if the person who wants to save you . . . is the one who will never let you go?"
