Jim and Stephanie Miller and their children Zachary and Ashley are a missionary family that has just returned from serving in Papua New Guinea. Soon after their return to the states, Stephanie begins to suffer from disturbing dreams, visions, nightmares, and sleep walking: possibly triggered by supernatural events on the mission field.
During the winter they retreat to an immense lodge in a remote area of North Carolina (picture The Shining). The Millers hope this winter vacation will draw them closer to one another and to God. However, this house has many secrets. Zachary is the only one that seems excited about the vacation. He begins to explore the lodge and finds secret passageways, locked wings and hidden rooms. What seems exciting at first becomes horrifying when locked doors are opened and the things locked inside are free to roam the halls. When a snowstorm traps the Millers, the supernatural forces turn their “vacation” into a nightmare!
This was a great read. Although it does mentions faith, I would classify this as a supernatural thriller rather than a Christian book. It kept me interested and wanting to come back for more. There were lots of plot twists and turns. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
