Who can you trust when you can't trust yourself?
When Ella hears of her father's death, the last thing she wants is to return to the childhood home where he subjected her to years of trauma. But motivated by revenge, she and partner Dan do just that.
At first, the memories of her past overwhelm her, but the move to Bittersweet Acres is more dangerous than Ella could ever have imagined.
Strange notes start to appear, Ella's behaviour becomes erratic, and she's sure that Dan is responsible for the bizarre events that threaten her mental and physical health.
He says he's trying to protect her, but nothing is as it seems.
Can Ella uncover the truth before it's too late? Pre-order your copy of Gaslight now for your first must-read of 2023.
There are only two explanations for what has been happening. Either he is trying to make me think I'm crazy or he's trying to kill me. The one thing I know for sure is that I need to get out of this house.
After everything that happened here, I should never have come back. I let him talk me into it. I gave up so easily, and for what?
I got myself into this and now, I either get myself out of it or I find out which of the explanations is correct.

"Gaslight" J.E. Rowney is a psychological thriller. It is mostly written in the first person. Our heroine talks about her life. We can read what she thinks and feels at any moment. There's not much dialogue, but that didn't bother me. Our heroine is Ella. When she was 18, she ran away from home. She hoped never to go back there. A few years later, she made a life for herself. She works, lives and has a boyfriend, Dan. She gets sad news. Her father died and she inherited the house from him. What should she do now? At that point, I wondered why she ran away from home. What happened? I wasn't happy when I found out the truth. At the insistence of her boyfriend, she accepted this house. What she finds there is pure madness. She didn't know if she could trust herself. I was worried about her. The author did a great job of capturing our emotions. The ending is a real bomb. This is what I didn't expect. I created my ending to this story in my head. A plus for the author. The whole story is a real gem. If you like psychological thrillers, you can't miss "Gas Light". At times I was terrified, just like the main character. I liked her. Congratulations to the author of this work.
I recommend this unique book, mommy_and_books.
Ps.
I recommend reading it at night. You will get interesting effects and even greater emotions.
