About this listen
Emily thought she knew what love was—until she found herself locked away in a secluded cabin by the one person she trusted the most.
What began as a romantic weekend escape quickly turns into a twisted nightmare. Jason, her seemingly perfect boyfriend, takes control of everything—where she goes, what she eats, even when she sleeps. As the walls of their idyllic cabin close in, Emily starts to see the truth behind Jason’s charm: a dark obsession that runs deeper than she ever imagined.
But Jason isn’t the only one hiding secrets. When Rachel, a mysterious woman with her own dark past, appears with promises of escape, Emily’s hope rekindles—only to be shattered when Rachel's true intentions are revealed. Trapped between Jason’s delusions and Rachel’s twisted loyalty, Emily must fight for her life, using every ounce of her strength and every scrap of knowledge she has about the house.
In this gripping psychological thriller, Emily must confront the terrifying reality that her past is far from over, and the ones she fears most are still watching, still waiting. How far will she have to go to truly escape the perfect illusion?
Sometimes, the person you love is the one you should fear the most.

All the neighbours were laughing, drinking out of plastic glasses and getting along. I almost felt happy. Almost forgot about the terrible argument earlier and the sinister messages I’d been receiving from a strange address all week, threatening to expose the lies behind my perfect life. As we finished with the red and gold fireworks and welcomed everyone back to our house, I believed that everything would be okay. But I didn’t know who I was inviting in.

At first glance, Natalie Cavanaugh and Glenn Abbott hardly look like sisters. Even off-duty, Natalie dresses like a Boston cop, preferring practical clothes and unfussy, pinned-up hair. Her younger sister, Glenn, seems tailor-made for the spotlight, from her signature red mane to her camera-ready smile. Glenn has spent years cultivating her brand through her baking blog, and with the publication of her new book, that hard work seems about to pay off. But her fans have no idea about the nightmare in Glenn and Natalie’s past.
