Blurb:-Think THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS meets THE COUPLE AT NO. 9. Absolutely perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Mark Edwards and Claire Douglas.

 I simply slung my rucksack on my shoulder and climbed into the car-and into the life-of perfect strangers.

It was meant to be Caitlin's perfect summer, but betrayed by her best friend and her boyfriend, she finds herself hitchhiking home alone, heartbroken, and penniless.

 When a smiling family pulls up on the roadside to help her on her way, she's relieved-they seem so friendly, safe. And when they offer her a warm bed in their isolated house for the night, she's grateful not to have to travel back alone in the dark. In any case, she's in no rush to get home, where a grave secret is lying in wait to blow her family apart.

 One night soon turns into two, and then three, the increasingly spellbinding couple wants her to stay, and why shouldn't she? Their children need a tutor, and the longer she can avoid home, the better. But then an older member of the household warns her to leave immediately. And when her phone suddenly goes missing, when she realises that this perfect family is a perfect lie, it might not be so easy for her to leave...

My Review:-The story is told by Caitlin, who's 19-years-old. Covid-19 has just started when Caitlin leaves her boyfriend in Europe to return home with nothing but the clothes she's wearing. She's stuck in the UK with nothing, she has no money or her phone. Marcus, Mimi and their two girls take her in just as we go into lockdown, she has no where else to go, so she has to stay at the farm. Things are not what they seem, Caitlin must escape and take the girls with her. Once you start reading and listening to Caitlin telling you her story, you will soon see that there is more than just a family. I ended up staying up later than I expected, as I needed to know what happens to Caitlin and the girls.
