The Unseen: A Novel

Isla and Luke recently lost a child, so when one appears in the woods surrounding their home, Isla thinks it’s a sign. They begin fostering the child, much to the chagrin of their other five children, and strange things start occurring. There seems to be something wrong with this child. There is also a hidden presence that each of them can feel, but cannot fully see. It doesn’t take long before this family realizes The Unseen presence has some purpose for them, and it isn’t good.

This was probably one of the most terrifying books I’ve ever read. I couldn’t put it down because I wanted to finish before I went to bed, and honestly, I’m still not quite sure what was going on. However, if you like scary stories, whether they make sense or not, this book is for you. The author does a wonderful job of giving the reader a continual sense of foreboding. You know it won’t end well, but you have no idea how crazy it will get. This is definitely a book you read in one sitting.
