Tessa Stevens has been through a lot in her life, the death of both of her parents under tragic circumstances, then followed by the death of her grandma, but that all changed when she met her husband and fell in love, he was all that she wanted in a man, smart, handsome, kind and generous, but she missed her sister who she hadn’t seen since they got married. One night, she hears a voice telling her to leave the house while she still can, but she is confused as to who it was and why they were telling her that, but they were only dreams and she has a feeling that she needs to call her sister to make up for lost time, but when she does and they agree to meet it is like old times, apart from her sister shows her something about her husband which Tessa finds it hard to believe because the information paints him in a completely different light and when she sees that she has multiple missed calls and texts from him and when she does answer that he is concerned about her, she dismisses everything else, although she can’t deny that she wants to know more about his past.

When Tessa returns home, she looks up about her husband’s past and realises that the person in her dreams is also someone who her husband had a past with and has since disappeared but when strange things start to happen in the kitchen as she thinks about their future she tries to ignore it and carry on with her day, but the strange things keep happening, especially in the basement as she finds some things down there which she didn’t expect to and when she eventually is back upstairs, she realises who is behind them all. The dreams continue that night and in the morning Tessa invites her sister over to the house but instead decide to meet at the cafe again, but her husband’s reaction to it unnerves her and when she tells her about the strange dreams and occurrences in the house, her sister decides that it is time to do some snooping and she returns to the house with Tessa and stays the night and while her husband is out, they find out more about him and the mysterious spirit haunting her and it isn’t all good.

As the visitations become more frequent and Tessa finds out more about her husband, she realises that he doesn’t really know him much after all, but the more she finds out, the more his behaviour changes and the more scared she becomes until things come to a head, but will all the secrets be revealed or will the past repeat itself and will Tessa be able to solve the mystery in time, or will the secrets destroy her first? This is a fast paced whirlwind of a journey through deception, danger, lies and secrets where any revelations just muddy the water more and once started, you won’t be able to stop until you reach the end.
