"Three years ago, Nikki and Ethan Rhodes suffered a devastating loss when their four-year-old daughter Grace was tragically killed in a road accident. Ethan, a radio personality, escapes into work, leaving Nikki to care for their remaining child, Bella, who hasn't spoken since that day.
Seeking a fresh start, the family moves into a revolutionary new house designed by renowned architect, Catriona Fisher. The house features a state-of-the-art security system, along with every amenity you could dream of."

Reminiscent of The Girl Before - a thriller set in a futuristic household where the habitants are left wondering how much of their lives are being monitored, and how safe they are in a house that essentially thinks for itself.
In an age where siri, google and alexa are as close to us as our own grandparents, a tale like this feels close to reality. Which is exactly what i look for, a tale that keeps me up at night reading and has me thinking of it throughout the day as i use smart devices in my own home.
The main characters relationship with her child had me flipping between whether i liked her or not, and some interesting twists throughout only made me more unsure.
An easy read that flowed well and had an up to date plot, I enjoyed this book as much as The Girl Before.
