The room by the lake : A gripping thriller that will keep you hooked to the last page

All she wanted was somewhere to belong. Caitlin never meant to stay so long. But it's strange how this place warps time.

Then she met Jake and he took her to his 'family': a close-knit community living by the lake. Each day she says she'll leave but each night she's back around their campfire. Staring into the flames. Reciting in chorus that she is nothing without them. But something inside her won't let go. A whisper that knows this isn't right. Knows there is danger lurking in that quiet room down by the lake...
