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
