Honey, I just want you to have everything you ever wanted. That’s what Jacy’s mom always told her. And Jacy felt like she finally did. Newly married and with a baby on the way, Jacy and her new husband, Jed, embark on their first road trip together to visit his father, Dr. Ash, in Michigan’s far-flung Upper Peninsula. The moment they arrive at the cottage snug within the lush woods, Jacy feels bathed in love by the warm and hospitable Dr. Ash, if less so by his house manager, the enigmatic Mrs. Brandt.
But their Edenic first days take a turn when Jacy has a health scare. Swiftly, vacation activities are scrapped, and all eyes are on Jacy’s condition. Suddenly, whispers about Jed’s long-dead mother and complicated family history seem to eerily impinge upon the present, and Jacy begins to feel trapped in the cottage, her every move surveilled, her body under the looking glass. But are her fears founded or is it paranoia, or cabin fever, or—as is suggested to her—a stubborn refusal to take necessary precautions? The dense woods surrounding the cottage are full of dangers, but are the greater ones inside?
My Review:
None of us get to choose our parents. And often times, we are nothing like them. But sometimes, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. When Jace and her husband Jed travel to visit his father for the first time in his isolated Upper Peninsula compound in Michigan, Jace isn’t sure what to expect. She knows her father-in-law is a retired doctor, a widow and extremely charming.
But it’s clear early on into the visit that Dr. Ash isn’t quite as charismatic as Jace first thought. And he has a housekeeper, Mrs. Brandt, who is extremely weird. After some issues with her pregnancy, Jace starts to understand the type of man her father in-law actually is. The problem is, her husband either doesn’t see it, or shares his views. What other secrets is Dr. Ash keeping?
Beware the Woman is a fantastic read and a cautionary tale to always meet your inlays before you’re married and pregnant. This one is out today.
