The Darkness That Binds Us

A dark and twisted psychological thriller sequel to "The Darkness Within Ourselves"

It's what we can't see that scares us the most ...


Twenty-five years ago, an unimaginable tragedy struck the town of Cherry Hollow, leaving its residents devastated and searching for answers. Grief overwhelmed the town for two decades until five years ago when the truth was finally revealed, but not everyone believed the story ...


Now, a new family has moved to town, unaware of the secrets and lies that lurk under the floorboards of their new home that once belonged to Amber Walker, one of the five members of the original disaster.


Emma and Linda Smithson, and their two children, have moved there for a fresh start, determined to bury their murky pasts and forget about their own life-altering mistakes. But when they find out Amber took her own life, events start to unravel and suspicions begin to surface, as they each deal with their own darkness.


Jordan and Brooke, two of Amber's best friends, are determined to prove that she was murdered, even if it means delving into the past, facing old enemies, and standing up to their previous demons. The ones they swore they'd never speak about again.


For the community of Cherry Hollow, it's not all smiles and sunshine ... because the darkness never left ... and it won't rest until it gets what it wants ... The Truth.

I don't even know what to say! Book two left me desperately wanting more and quickly moving on to the third and final book. My heart broke in the beginning, I was so mad at the author for the death of a character but the story line made sense. Sometimes they have to die right.The Darkness that Binds Us is fantastic! Such a fast read, short chapters, extremely engaging. You won't be able to put it down.
