Aaron and Bridge Quinlan's father has died and they are now traveling to meet their mother and sister Franny at a huge property in the Pacific Northwest to participate in the reading of his will. All of them are confused when they learn that to claim their inheritance, they have to stay on the property for thirty days without any contact with the outside world. They find this strange, but ultimately they agree to this. However, they will soon learn that the family has a lot of secrets...

I was really looking forward to reading THE HOMECOMING after reading the blurb. I love reading books where a group of people is dumped in the middle of nowhere and strange things happen. However, I found I had trouble connecting both with the characters and the story. Aaron, the narrator, just didn't work for me. I really can't explain it more than I found him not very interesting. The siblings all seemed strange, and their relationship with their father was odd and I wanted to know what the heck was going on. Alas, the book was never thrilling in my opinion. Odd yes, but the overall story wasn't as captivating as I was anticipating. However, I will say that the ending was not what I expected, and when the truth is finally revealed, it was fascinating.

Book Summary

Bestselling author Andrew Pyper returns with a riveting psychological thriller about how the people you've known your whole life can suddenly become strangers.

What if everything you knew about the people you loved was a lie?

After the death of their absentee father, Aaron and Bridge Quinlan travel to a vast rainforest property in the Pacific Northwest to hear the reading of his will. There, they meet up with their mother and troubled sister, Franny, and are shocked to discover the will's terms: in order to claim their inheritance they must all remain at the estate for thirty days without any contact with the outside world. Despite their concerns, they agree.

The Quinlans soon come to learn their family has more secrets than they ever imagined—revelations that at first inspire curiosity, then fear. Why does Bridge have faint memories of the estate? Why did their father want them to be sequestered there together? And what is out there they feel pulling them into the dark heart of the woods?

The Homecoming is at once a gripping mystery, a chilling exploration of how our memories can both define and betray us, and a riveting page-turner that will have you questioning your very existence.
