Synopsis

Sophia was made for him, her perfect husband. She can feel it in her bones. He is perfect; their home together in Arcadia Gardens is perfect; everything is perfect. It's just that he's away so much—so often. He works so hard. She misses him, and he misses her. He says he does, so it must be true. He is the perfect husband, and everything is perfect. But sometimes Sophia wonders about things—strange things, dark things—the look on her husband's face when he comes back from a long business trip, the questions he will not answer, the locked basement she is never allowed to enter. And whenever she asks the neighbors, they can't quite meet her gaze.... But everything is perfect—isn't it?

Goodreads review by Cindy

Super quick read and has a strong stylistic voice suited for horror. I didn't feel much from the story though - no discomfort or stomach churning moments that one would want from this genre, not even unsettled.
