'I still dream about Anna London's house. In my dreams it's as if the house itself has sinister intentions. But in real life it wasn't the house that was responsible for what happened. It was the people who did the damage ...'
When Tim Ellison finds a cheap room to rent in the perfect location in Sydney it looks like a huge stroke of luck. In fact the room comes with a condition, and the owner of the house, the mysterious Anna London, is unfriendly and withdrawn. When strange and terrifying things start happening in the house at night, Tim wonders if taking the room is a mistake. But then his feelings for Anna start to change, and when her past comes back with a vengeance, Tim is caught right in the middle of it.
A thrilling, rollercoaster of a story - read it with the lights on!
Chilling and nail-bitingly suspenseful storytelling from the author of Beautiful Malice.
Sweet Damage
I think I preferred this to 'Beautiful Malice'. I read this right after I read 'Beautiful Malice' and was well and truly prepared for Rebecca James' writing style and the stories are very similar. I was more prepared and knew what to look for with the twists. I really liked the 2 main characters and the way I could really picture the house and the surroundings the descriptions were very visual. This is not normally the kind of book I would read so it was a nice change and a thrilling story.
