The story revolves around Amber who has separated from his husband Nick and is now living with her two sons at the family property. She falls in love with Richard and was looking forward to moving in with him but before moving she thought of selling the house. Her real estate agent, Carl suggested that she should organize an Open House at their place and she agreed to the idea.

She was watching the open house event throughout from an app which is connected to the camera at her door. She counted 13 people entering her home but found out that only 12 people had left. Initially she thought that she must have made a mistake while counting but later then strange things started to happen at her place she started questioning herself.

The story is told from two perspective- Amber and Barb (Nick’s Mother)

This was my first Sam Carrington book but definitely not the last. I think this book would be great for readers who want a quick read with plenty of plot twists.

I really liked the character of Nick because when Amber finds out that strange things are happening at her place and someone might be there, she calls Richard and Nick but Richard says that he has some work and he won’t be able to come and check and on the other hand Nick agrees immediately. Apart from what he did to Amber, I feel that he is very caring and protective towards his family and that is why he is my favourite character.
