Part of Series
In this "chilling, edge-of-your-seat thriller", a woman suspects her new neighbors aren't who they appear to be, setting the stage for a horrifying chain of events. Abbie Rambally is a stay-at-home mom who can barely balance it all. She’s preparing her Ph.D. dissertation defense while raising three kids, and supporting her husband's career as a surgical resident. But when she meets the new couple next door, Abbie's already hectic life descends into chaos. Why are the Paynes so fascinated by her oldest son, Lucas, and why do they ask so many questions about him? Soon Abbie begins to suspect that something is terribly wrong and the Paynes' choice of neighborhood was no accident. Too many things about the couple don't add up, and when a stranger at a local café approaches Jenna Payne and calls her by a different name, Abbie can no longer ignore the danger lurking. The clock is ticking, and if she doesn’t uncover what her neighbors are hiding, her son could pay a terrible price.
