Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
A single mother working in the gothic mansion of a reclusive horror director stumbles upon terrifying secrets in the captivating new novel from the national bestselling author of Good Girls Don't Die and Horseman.
Harry Adams has always loved horror movies, so it’s not a total coincidence that she took the job cleaning house for movie director Javier Castillo. His forbidding graystone Chicago mansion, Bright Horses, is filled from top to bottom with terrifying props and costumes, as well as glittering awards from his career making films that thrilled audiences—until family tragedy and scandal forced him to vanish from the industry.
Javier values discretion, and Harry has always tried to clean the house immaculately, keep her head down, and keep her job safe—she needs the money to support her son. But then she starts hearing noises from behind a locked door. Noises that sound remarkably like a human voice calling for help, even though Javier lives alone and never has visitors. Harry knows that not asking questions is a vital part of working for Javier, but she soon finds that the sinister house may be home to secrets she can’t ignore.

“I grabbed this while scrolling the Libby app, which is where you can use your library card to borrow library books, and even audio, which is what this one was.
I went into this thinking I'm going to get a slower haunting, and it was, but then, then it took off, and i got whiplash.
I really could not tell what side of the line Javier fall on, until the actual last chapter, I would second guess myself, and the characters, Christina wrote them fantastically.
Is Harry simply a stressed, end of her rope mother, or is Javier conveniently pulling the strings in the back ground to get what he wants?
But he's just a nice older eccentric right?
His poor murder of a son, and his wife, the love of his life, just disappeared on him an that would make anyone a little crazy.
This was a rollercoaster and it has now cemented me firmly in the Christina fandom for anything else she writes.”
