House of the Missing

by Martin Llewellyn

A girl wakes in a forest—her clothes are scorched, her mind blank. Who is she, how did she get there, and who are the monsters lurking among the trees?

Finding a house buried in the woods, the girl is taken in by the family who reside there, and slowly begins to heal. But, as she returns to life, it becomes clear that to find the answers she seeks, the mysteries of the forest must be unlocked.

A macabre and breathtaking feat of the imagination, House of the Missing will transport you into a surreal, nightmarish world where nothing is certain and violence is never far away…

This is a mysterious dark delicious book so cannot speak very much about plot or character but I very much enjoyed the unfolding of the story. A lovely haunted read.

[Kerrypotts]

A gorgeous book with a lot of dark, creepy layers, as well as bright, beautiful corners.

First novel of a promising novelist.. worth reading for plot paths through a forest with many surprises.
