What I liked about this one was that it had that eeriness factor that I love in books and it was a quick read. I love a good thriller that involves a creepy house and an unsuspecting nanny. Although Emily isn’t really a nanny. She is really there to watch over Scott’s wife, Nina, but all Emily knows is that Nina is unwell. The setting is described beautifully. It is a stunning place in France, but Emily finds many things unsettling. However, instead of investigating further, she is blinded by the beauty of the estate and by the beauty of the couple, Scott and Nina.

Something I did not like was Emily’s lack of caring about these odd happenings. She has suspicions about why she is not allowed in the main house, why Nina’s daughter takes all these pills, why there is no service/wifi, why Nina acts out sometimes... but she doesn’t really do much about it. I also did not like the odd relationship between Scott and Emily.

The twist was good, but I was hoping for more. I enjoyed reading the book, but it was a very slow burn.
