About Willed (Unabridged)

She thought she was searching for answers. What she found instead was a waking nightmare. For fans of psychological terrors and supernatural dread, prepare for a story that will leave you breathless—perfect for fans of Riley Sager, Darcy Coates, Freida McFadden, Ania Ahlborn, and Lisa Jewell. Layne's brother, Brian, was once a happy, vibrant man—full of life and laughter. But that was before the darkness took hold. After his sudden, inexplicable death, Layne inherits his house—an ominous shell of secrets and shadows. Hoping to unravel the truth behind his descent into madness, she moves in with her young son, Cade. What begins as strange noises and flickering shadows quickly spirals into terror. Unseen whispers echo through the halls, and Cade starts talking to someone no one else can see. Hidden beneath the floorboards, disturbing drawings and cryptic messages mimic Brian’s final, desperate writings—clues that threaten to unravel her sanity. The deeper Layne digs, the clearer it becomes: Brian's madness was no accident. Something dark and ancient lurks within those walls—something that might be hungry for more than just their secrets. As Cade’s nightmares intensify and violent outbursts erupt without warning, Layne realizes she’s not just fighting for answers—she’s fighting for her life. And the house? It’s alive. It’s hungry. And it’s waiting for its next sacrifice. Some secrets are better left buried. Some houses never let go.
