Publisher's summary

From USA Today bestselling author Margot Hunt comes the chilling tale of what happens when a family besieged by a storm must play host to uninvited guests.

When a Category 5 hurricane is poised to hit their coastal Florida town, the Davies family takes refuge in their waterfront manse. Marlowe, Lee, and their teenage twins invite their close friends to wait out the storm in comfort and style.

Uninvited are the three strangers who dock on the family’s shore right before the storm descends. Brothers Jason and Bo—and Bo’s girlfriend, Darcy—are a charming, helpful trio in need of a safe haven that the family is only too happy to provide.

But as the storm outside grows more threatening, so does the tension in the house.

Soon, the lines between family, friends, and strangers blur. Danger mounts with every pointed finger and broken confidence, and long-held secrets are revealed one after another until only one truth remains: not everyone is going to make it out alive.

Critic reviews

“Narrators Amy McFadden, Sarah Naughton, Michael Crouch, Soneela Nankani, and A.J. Beckles give dramatic and engaging performances as the various friends, family members, and foes. From enmity to anxiety, they expertly portray every emotional moment. Will appeal to listeners seeking a fast-paced, family-centered suspense. Recommended for fans of Joy Fielding, Robyn Harding, and Adrian McKinty.”Library Journal

“An irresistible way to kill the hours while you wait for the power to come back on.”Kirkus Reviews

“Hunt’s skillful sleight of hand and well-drawn characters create palpable menace, placing this a cut above standard-issue locked-room thrillers. It will leave readers breathless.”Publishers Weekly

Eh

I can’t tell if the narrator made this book dull, or if it was actually flat. There were several twists, but the narrator made it hard to get excited.

Everything was freaking amazing

This was the best audiobook I’ve listened to in a very long time I was totally immersed in the story from the beginning to the very end.

Great story

The Narrators were to monotone for my liking. They seemed just sort of flat without much expression.

The plot

It felt like it was to long with to many characters to keep track of.

Good, fast read

I’m not sure why the reviews are not higher. This is the best I’ve read from the author.
The big downside was the narration, some of the voices were tough to listen too.

Bad Narration

I didn’t hate the story, but the narration was distracting at times and completely awful for Felix in particular. I was looking forward to this one based on the premise, but I found myself rolling my eyes throughout. The characters are so dimwitted. It felt more like a YA novel. I wish I would’ve saved my credit.
