When the Birds Come: A psychological thriller about a cult

By Vanessa Jones

What she discovers in the woods will change her life-and her marriage-forever.

Sophie's life is unraveling in ways she can't explain. Since her thirtieth birthday, a recurring nightmare has taken root-an eerie vision of a strange rock buried deep in the woods. When her husband, Alex, vanishes without a trace, Sophie is left clinging to the frayed threads of her sanity.

In search of answers, she turns to her therapist, Carla, whose quiet presence becomes her only lifeline. But the visions intensify. The birds arrive-relentless, uncanny, hurling themselves at her windows like omens. And she begins to feel that someone-or something-is watching her.

Then Sophie finds her husband's keyring. The moment sharpens her fear into something colder: Alex isn't just missing. He may never return.

When the Birds Come is a chilling psychological thriller that is an atmospheric descent into loss and the shadowy terrain of memory, whilst leaving the reader questioning the fine line between mysticism and madness.

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Riley Sager, When the Birds Come delivers an eerie, psychological punch that lingers long after the final page.
