If their new new home doesn't break them, their secrets will...

When Emily wakes from a coma following an accident that nearly kills her, she finds herself agreeing to move from London to the wild moors of Devon with her husband Freddie. A fresh start is exactly what their marriage needs.

As their car pulls up to Larkin Lodge, their dream country home, Emily's heart sinks. Outside, everything is covered in an icy gray mist. Inside, the air is filled with dust and abandonment.

And then she finds the empty suite on the second floor. A room so bleak, so cold, so void of anything good. Something bad happened in here. Someone dies in here. Why can't Freddie feel the darkness that stirs within its walls?

There's something wrong with the house, this strange house, where the floorboards creak at night, the doors rattle, the windows slam shut, the taps turn on and off - and on and off.

But if the house is hiding something, so are Emily and Freddie...

HOLY SH*T. What the hell did I just read? and more importantly how the hell do I review it without spoilers?

Fans of Sarah Pinborough and the incredible Behind Her Eyes with the tagline #WTFthatending should be getting very excited. Sarah’s new book WE LIVE HERE NOW is out next June 2025. I was lucky enough to read an early copy a few weeks ago. I still can’t work out how to write this review.

The story revolves around Emily and Freddie. They are a married couple who have moved from London into a huge country house on the edges of Dartmoor. Emily is recovering from an almost-tragic holiday accident which left her in a coma. The move is meant to help in her healing. However, Freddie still has to commute to London for work. This leaves Emily alone for days on end isolated and far from her friends and support network.

She’s struggling emotionally and physically since the accident and begins to see and hear strange things in the house. Convinced the house is haunted, she starts investigating it’s past and starts to uncover some really dark secrets.

That is ALL I am saying about the plot, but I will say this: Sarah Pinborough has a really vivid and disturbed imagination and in my opinion, WE LIVE HERE NOW is as equally brilliant as Behind Her Eyes.

Clever, spooky, amusing and absolutely UNPUTDOWNABLE, the queen of cross-genre WTF fiction has done it again,

Y'all I wasn't ready for this book. I was not prepared!!!

I went into this one not sure what to expect. I've never read this author before so I wasn't sure what lay ahead within the pages of this book. Right off the bat something ominous lingers in the air. You just know that something is off yet you can't put your finger on it.

The main characters both have something to hide which amps up the suspense and mystery. The dual POVs kept me turning the pages. I was so anxious to find out what was really going on beneath the surface. The gothic horror feel of the book immediately pulled me in and the psychological aspect kept me there. I love an unreliable narrator.

As I read on things became even more intense and secrets started to come out that has my spine tingling with anticipation. I didn't just read this book, I absorbed it. When the truth of what was happening was revealed. You could have knocked me over with a feather. Did I not mention I was NOT prepared. Off all the things I imagined, THAT was not one of them. That ending was perfection! I couldn't have thought of a more unsettling ending. A masterpiece of a book!

Thank you to Netgalley, Orion Publishing and Sarah Pinborough for my eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
