Publisher's summary

Michelle and Cliff Stage bought their isolated vacation cabin in the mountains of North Carolina with hopes of repairing their 18-year marriage. But when Cliff disappears one night searching for the source of a mysterious light in the woods, Michelle’s life will change in unimaginable ways. After the sheriff’s department fails to find him, Michelle scrambles down the same dark mountainside alone, the strange, beckoning light her only guide.

What she discovers is a cabin, identical to theirs, housing a life she barely recognizes - and a husband she hardly knows. Cliff is a changed man. Now caring and considerate, no longer a manipulative womanizer, he is also missing a finger. He claims that Cassie, their teenage daughter, is dead, killed in a car accident more than a year ago. Michelle knows that’s not possible - Cassie had phoned her from Atlanta only hours before. Even when shown Cassie’s grave, Michelle refuses to accept she’s gone.

Michelle wants her daughter and her life back, and the only clue to what has happened is a man named Pink. A real estate agent and the man who years earlier built Michelle and Cliff’s cabin, Pink was rumored to have killed his wife and buried her on the property, then vanished, never to be seen again. But in Michelle’s new reality, Pink and his wife still reside in town and Pink’s smile-splashed billboards are everywhere.

To get back to the world where her daughter exists, Michelle must unravel the mystery of Pink while questioning her very reality - and her sanity. Haunting, atmospheric, and deeply thought-provoking, The Cabin on Souder Hill questions the very nature of our existence and the choices we make to form it.

Good, but...

the story was pretty good the narrator was great. the writer, needs to invest in a thesaurus. I started to get distracted by the fact that she used the word queer at least 20 times. the second favorite word was vexing. there are so many other ways to say queer, strange, odd etc. a couple times she even used the word queer two times in one sentence. a good editor should have caught this. the characters weren't 100% believable, but believable enough I would recommend it for a light read but don't expect Hemingway..

It was ok

It wasn't a bad story but it did get irritating/hard to here "queer" in just about every chapter and then Pink's character.

Too many colloquialisms

Slow and repetitive, sometimes entertaining and thought provoking. However, the story was often confusing without a satisfactory conclusion. Too many loose ends.

Cute Mystery

Nothing serious for us thrill readers but a cute mystery for a different kind of read. Narration was very good.

Psychological thriller meets witchcraft!

I quite enjoyed this book. I’m glad I didn’t read the reviews beforehand because it was a good read to me. It’s very confusing in the beginning but once things started falling into place, I couldn’t stop listening! I finished the book in less than 24 hours.
