We Live Here Now by Sarah PinboroughMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love reading Sarah Pinborough's books because she writes very addictive thriller/horror stories.
After a terrible accident and months in hospital, Emily arrives at her new house in the country with her husband, Freddie. Larkin Lodge is a lovely house in the middle of nowhere, but as soon as she gets there, Emily gets a bad feeling about the place...
O.M.F.G. Yikes! 😳
I was hooked from the beginning and got lost in the unstable lives of the married couple who move to the country after a tragic accident.
Although I was initially fascinated with the isolated house, it was the introduction of Emily and Freddie that totally grabbed me. Their marriage outwardly appears to be a happy one, and now that Emily is out of hospital, they can get back on track. But reading their individual inner thoughts reveals the complete opposite.
This couple has a lot of problems, resentments, and secrets. Not to mention how awful and selfish they are, or that so many of their decisions and actions are questionable. Honestly, it feels like they're constantly competing with each other. And lying.
Still, no matter how awful Emily and Freddie are to each other and everyone else, I really enjoyed figuring out the mystery as Emily investigates the history of Larkin Lodge.
The ending is perfect. For so many reasons.
