Helpful Score: 3
creepy and terrifying. Page turner that is difficult to put down. A grittier Steven King type book that closely approaches the line of too gross
Helpful Score: 2
I started this and it hooked me right away BUT about half way it just dragged out and when the children escaped from that point on I did a lot of skimming pages, from about halfway it just seemed to be the parents chasing the children page after page and even thought others things are taking place it just didn't hold my complete attention and I wanted to get through the pages quickly to see what happens so that by the end of the book I was disappointed with last half of the book and the way it ended.
Alex and Leslie Twisden lead charmed lives-fabulous jobs, a luxurious town house on Manhattan's Upper East Side, a passionate marriage. What they don't have is a child, and as they try one infertility treatment after the next, yearning turns into obsession. As a last-ditch attempt to make their dream of parenthood come true, Alex and Leslie travel deep into Slovenia, where they submit to a painful and terrifying procedure that finally gives them what they so fervently desire . . . but with awful consequences.
Ten years later, cosseted and adored but living in a house of secrets, the twins Adam and Alice find themselves locked into their rooms every night, with sounds coming from their parents' bedroom getting progressively louder, more violent, and more disturbing.
