"Newly married and with a baby on the way, Jacy and her new husband, Jed, embark on their first road trip together to visit his father, Dr. Ash, in Michigan's far-flung Upper Peninsula. The moment they arrive at the cottage snug within the lush woods, Jacy feels bathed in love by the warm and hospitable Dr. Ash, if less so by his house manager, the enigmatic Mrs. Brandt. But their Edenic first days take a turn when Jacy has a health scare. Swiftly, vacation activities are scrapped, and all eyes are on Jacy's condition. Suddenly, whispers about Jed's long-dead mother and complicated family history seem to eerily impinge upon the present, and Jacy begins to feel trapped in the cottage, her every move surveilled, her body under the looking glass. But are her fears founded or is it paranoia, or cabin fever, or--as is suggested to her--a stubborn refusal to take necessary precautions?"-- Provided by publisher.

Underwhelming submitted by schriste on August 11, 2023, 2:52pm I enjoyed the UP setting and how the author used contemporary themes to tell a suspense story, but the suspense fell flat for me. The plot moved slowly, and while I think it was intentional to leave a certain character's transformation mainly unexplained, that lack of detail contributed to an unsatisfying ending.
