A weekend getaway in an isolated country house is just what Caitlin needs to fix her relationship with husband Eli…Her spirits are up as they enter the spacious retreat and cool off in the nearby lake. With Eli’s easy-going brother accompanying them – the party was his idea – the barbeque lit and beers cracked open, everything should be set for a perfect evening.But her husband is cold and … husband is cold and dismissive so Caitlin decides to drown her sorrows, and heads into the wine cellar. What she finds there will change their lives for ever.
No peaceful sojourn from their daily worries, the house will stage an intense battle of wits: violent, claustrophobic and cruel. The danger the small group are in will put their trust in one another to the ultimate test. The question is, will anyone get out alive?
UNWELCOME GUESTS is a non-supernatural horror, a real page-turner thriller with nail-biting suspense.

This was a very good book to read.
Entertaining
Good GRated read
This is a fast read, and difficult to put down. The author knows how to keep your interest, and does a great job!
The story was great; once the story got going things moved faster. I didn’t want want to stop reading.
Once I was near the end, They’re describing how the house is inescapable because all the windows are high. The cover of the story looks like a camp with low windows. I kept thinking climb out of the windows.
Good thriller, weak ending
I enjoyed reading this book. The plot was interesting enough to claim my attention from start to finish. I finished the book but it is the type of story that doesn’t leave you right away. I definitely recommend!
Excellent!
It was a good satisfying story with good characters.
Good book, couldn’t put it down.
Love,love,love book
I enjoyed. VERY fast paced.
This book was a sad story about three people being in the wrong place at the worst possible time. The story is very realistic in that this situation could actually happen in real life. That’s what makes it scary. The characters are flawed just like most of are. Their choices have terrible consequences.
Kept my attention and was an easy read. Interesting concept
It was quite entertaining, hard to put down and very suspenseful!
The suspense was like a roller coaster. Once started reading hard to stop.
Enjoyed the book from beginning to end. I could not put it down til I turned the last page. Super good read
As always, how a reader rates a novel is subjective. That said, I found the story disturbing and somewhat unrealistic in that the characters don’t respond as I would expect. I would like to have read that they responded logically with unexpected results. This tale could have been more complex and more interesting.
I very much enjoy this author. This book gets off to an awkward/slow start but give it a few chapters you’ll be glad you did! Serious suspense, well written with engaging characters.
Too gruesome
The book is OK but certainly not great. I thought the characters were rather one dimensional and did some really stupid things. If you have time to kill it might appeal to you, but there are much
better ways to do that.
