After a whirlwind romance, Theo heads to meet her fiancé Connor's family for Christmas at their remote mountain getaway, Idlewood. But just before the trip, Theo starts receiving anonymous texts warning her to stay away from Connor and threatening to expose Theo's checkered past, part of which she has no memory of. When she arrives, Theo realizes that someone in Connor's uber-rich immediate family must have sent the texts, and between a sudden resurgence in disturbing nightmares and her suspicions about Connor's family, Theo's on edge for an already high-stress situation.
This is a twisty thriller that combines blackmail and manipulation, deeply buried family secrets, and the very real terror of meeting the future in-laws (though massively heightened, of course). There are a few things that push past the edge of believability, but as that fits the genre, it doesn't really bother me here. It's a domestic thriller that keeps the reader guessing.
