Our new home was supposed to be a chance to leave our past behind. But was moving here the worst mistake of our lives?

All our friends and family were gathered, glasses raised to toast our fresh start. It should have been a night for happiness and celebration. Zac and I had worked so hard for this: our first home together, just minutes from the sea. But the dream quickly turned into a nightmare…

We’d invited our neighbours too. I wanted to make a good impression – to show them we’re exactly the sort of people they want living on their street.

I hadn’t thought about who they might be, the strangers I was letting in.

It was going so well. There was laughter in the air and the wine was flowing. But then I noticed the narrowed eyes, the whispers.

And then the lights went out.

As my heart thumped in my chest, all the little things that had been going wrong since we moved here flashed through my mind: the food poisoning, the arguments, the flood of nasty reviews shaking my business.

Am I going crazy? Or is someone trying to destroy us?

What will happen when you move into your dream house and instead ends up having a series of problems and troubles???

That’s what’s happening in this book.

Nina and Zac move into their new dream house and were greeted by a couple, Vanessa and Chris who live upstairs on the same house. As soon as they moved in, both Nina and Zac had bouts of food poisoning which signals a bad omen as many pointed out. As it turned out, it sort of did–Nina’s business turned downhill with people commenting and rating her business as one star, her products seemed to be awful on the night of the event, a power cut ruins her event. And someone was trying to break her relationship with Zac by saying that Nina was cheating behind Zac’s back. Is someone trying to sabotage Nina’s career and life? And why?

I must say, I was literally hooked into the story. Suspense was definitely there and though not much twists and turns, the book was fast paced as something on the other is happening to Nina, threatening to ruin her. Shalini Boland has done a good job drawing the reader into the story. The ending was a bit odd and I felt rushed and I kind of expected who the person might be who would ruin Nina’s life. Overall, I would say it was a gripping thriller that will keep you up all night and quiet unputdownable too!
