Despite having a few Claire Douglas titles on my TBR shelves, this was my first! I look forward to reading her others! Soon enough, Jenna begins getting threats left and right. From sinister notes to dead animals left on her doorstep, it’s clear she’s not wanted. But as terrifying as it is, Jenna refuses to leave, intent on revealing what really happened all those years ago. What she doesn’t realize, however, is that someone in town is just as determined to drive her out. One way or the other. And the longer she stays the more likely it is that Jenna could suffer a grisly fate as well. One that will simply add to the mysteries attached to this dark place. Will she be able to uncover the truth before it’s too late? Or will she regret ever coming to town? The next best aspect was by far the many twists and turns that kept me guessing right up until the end. I was even afraid that there was going to be one eyesore of an unresolved thread left, but right at the end a whole new surprise was doled out. It is simply amazing how well this dual POV plot (which even contained a seemingly unrelated story thrown into the mix) was organized. Douglas’s brain truly is awe-inspiring to be sure. The story follows Jenna who is a podcaster trying to uncover what happened 20 years ago in a small town accident when four girls crashed into a tree and three of them disappeared. As she starts to dig deeper, the small town is willing to go to great extents to keep its secrets. I am a huge fan of author Claire Douglas and even though this was not my favorite "Claire" book, I will be looking forward to listening to the author's upcoming releases.

The infamous Devil’s Corridor is well known for being host to strange, almost supernatural occurrences. From a crying baby with no known source to sightings of a mysterious hooded figure roaming the area, even the nearby town of Stafferbury is thought to have a near mystical quality. However, I really like what Claire Douglas has tried to do here, the premise is clever, but it’s not quite as well executed as her other books in my opinion.By the end of Chapter 10, similar to the girls who "mysteriously disappeared", the book's action also mysteriously disappeared. I loved the different sides to this story and the extracts from Emilia’s book left me feeling as if I was reading two stories at the same time. This book was clever and it kept me curious right to the end.

When push comes to shove, I honestly think this was my favorite (at least so far) by the author. Between the much loved podcaster angle, the eerie setting, and the intriguing premise, I found myself happily wrapped up multiple times within the riveting story. Point blank, if I hadn’t already been, I would now thoroughly be in love with this author. So, if you couldn’t already guess, I strongly recommend this book. So I just know you’re going to run out and grab it ASAP. Right? Rating of 4.5 stars. Anyways I still loved so many things about this book! Even though I had hard time to connect with the characters and disliked how things wrapped up, I’m giving my solid three stars for promising, intriguing beginning! Twenty years ago, teenager Olivia is driving with her three friends down Devils Corridor near Wiltshire, when there is a car accident. As Olivia swerved her car as she saw a man in the middle of the road. Olivia is rescued but her three friends who was in the car disappeared never to be seen again. Where has her friends gone? There are lots of positives in this book, decent characters, intriguing plot but it just failed to hold my attention throughout. But before they can begin to heal their fragile marriage, Libby makes some disturbing discoveries about the house. And soon the peace and isolation begin to feel threatening. How alone are they? Why does she feel watched?I think the premise of this one was so good and I think it had so much potential to be really great however I think what let it down for me was maybe the pacing, the last twenty five percent felt quite rushed and some of the twists and turns just felt so rushed that it left me feeling as though they must have been an afterthought. The thing that I normally like about Claire Douglas' writing is that its at times antagonising slow filling you with details for it all to come together in the end however the end just didnt deliver in that way for me and left me wanting more.
