Narrated by: Joe Hempel, Patricia Santomasso, Tina Wolstencroft

There's someone at your front door—should you let them in? Find out in a riveting new thriller from global sensation and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid, Freida McFadden!

Who knows what the storm will blow in…

Casey's cabin in the wilderness is not built for a hurricane. Her roof shakes, the lights flicker, and the tree outside her front door sways ominously in the wind. But she's a lot more worried about the girl she discovers lurking outside her kitchen window.

She's young. She's alone. And she's covered in blood.

The girl won't explain where she came from, or loosen her grip on the knife in her right hand. And when Casey makes a disturbing discovery in the middle of the night, things take a turn for the worse.

The girl has a dark secret. One she'll kill to keep. And if Casey gets too close to the truth, she may not live to see the morning.

In this taut, deadly tale of survival and desperation, #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden explores how far one girl will go to save herself.

Honestly there hasn’t been a book by her I was completely engrossed with from the very beginning, and this is no exception. One would think after reading so many of her books, she wouldn’t still have the ability to fool me, but she gets me every time. I would have finished this in one listen if I didn’t have responsibilities 😂 I just love her writing style, and the way she’s able to lead us one way then completely flip it on its head and blow your mind. Highly recommend!

Another home run!

Just when I’m feeling in a book/podcast slump and need a pickup, Frieda to the rescue! Such a great escape and so entertaining!!
I agree with some other reviewers that this one was a bit different than her other books. Not as many wild, far-out there-plot twists, but this one was more realistic and thought provoking. I found myself so angry with some characters and felt so much despair for others. Really makes you wonder what you’d do in these situations.
Anyway, I loved it!! It was entertaining from start to finish! Thanks again Frieda for giving us a quick, but adventurous, escape from our own real world problems!

Suspenseful. I always enjoy not being able to guess the ending of her books.

I like the fact that her story line is not predictable. Makes the story much more enjoyable.

Talk about a Twist !

I could not stop listening the reader was so good at drawing me in and Freida …. Well Freida does it again is all I can say !!!!! Wow just when I thought she couldn’t get me with a twist she got me ! Unbelievable talent!

Great twists! As usual, Freida, Well done!

Loved everything about it just wish there was more of it to read. Could there be a sequel maybe?
