Maya is still haunted by the cabin - deep in the woods, where the trees are so dense it's easy to miss.

She hasn't been there since the summer she was seventeen. Since the day her best friend Aubrey died and Maya's world shattered.

Maya's memories of that summer are fragmented, but there is one thing she knows for sure, and that's who murdered Aubrey. Even if no one believes her.

Now, seven years later, another woman from their hometown has died in the same strange, unexplained way.

Maya knows only she can uncover the truth and save the next innocent girl. But to do that she'll have to go back - back to the forest, back to the house in the pines . . .

Critics Review

This is an absolute, can't-put-it-down thriller . . . It's truly a wild ride that had me flying through chapter after chapter - which I think is the perfect way to kick off your year of reading
A creepy work of unreliable memory and desire
The Times
Powerfully eerie and atmospheric, The House in the Pines is a compelling mix of psychological thriller and dark fairy tale. By focusing not on whodunnit but how and why, Ana Reyes' stellar debut explores the many ways our memories can fail us - and how they can set us free
Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of THE HOUSE ACROSS THE LAKE
Loved it! Read in a single-sitting, totally enthralled and desperate to learn the truth!
Lisa Gardner, the Sunday Times bestselling author of BEFORE SHE DISAPPEARED
It's a back-and-forth book that'll leave you on the edge of your seat, for sure
New York Post
The House in the Pines has a great hook, a beautifully painted central protagonist and a genuinely creepy villain. I loved it. Superb.
M. W. Craven, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE BOTANIST
Reyes' debut is a gripping, intelligent thriller that chilled me to the bone. With its intricate plotting, gorgeous prose and complex, richly drawn characters, The House in the Pines is that rare book that you live inside from the first page to the last. I didn't want it to end - and I can't wait for readers to discover my new favorite author
Andrea Bartz, author of Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick WE WERE NEVER HERE
One of the creepiest, most intoxicating thrillers I've ever read. I was completely enthralled, thoroughly unsettled and finished reading feeling both dazed and in awe. I'm certain this is destined to be one of my favourite books of the year
B.P. Walter, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE DINNER GUEST
I DEVOURED this book! There's something about the writing that is so sensuous and transportive, while also filled with an underlying sense of dread. . . . I enjoyed the themes of storytelling, generational ties, complicated female friendship, and control
Julia Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of THE WRITING RETREAT
Dark, unsettling and unusual, it stayed with me long after I'd turned the final page
Carly Reagon, author of THE TOLL HOUSE
The House in the Pines unfolds like a magic show. Atmospheric, twisty, and skillfully wrought - this was an utterly engrossing reading experience. I wish I could go back and experience it again for the first time
Susie Yang, New York Times bestselling author of WHITE IVY
Ana Ryes delves into a complex female friendship and the fragile nature of memory to weave together a smart, eerie, and completely addictive story of psychological suspense. Reyes is a debut author to watch
Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author of FIND ME

I'm sure some people will like this book but I had to give up at 28% I just couldn't take it any longer. Not a problem with the narrator just the long descriptions. I know it sets the scene but really too much detail for me. Do I really need to know what shop someone bought their clothes from when it has nothing to do with the story?
A lot of skipping backwards and forwards in time and locations didn't help, too confusing for me!
