The Girls in the Basement by Steena Holmes

Psychological Thriller, 339 pages

Published April 10, 2024 by Joffe Books

Jillian thought she knew her husband. They’ve been married for twenty years. But she doesn’t know him at all.

Jillian Harper thought moving to the quiet little town in Montana would be the fresh start her family needed. A charming farmhouse, friendly neighbors, and endless open fields — it was supposed to be perfect.

Until the bodies are found.

Buried deep on their land. Hidden for years.

The police are everywhere. The town is whispering. And Tucker — her devoted husband — is acting . . . strange. He won’t tell her where he was all day. He won’t explain why his phone was off. And worst of all — he won’t meet her eyes.

Jillian knows Tucker is lying. She just doesn’t know why.

But the truth is far worse than she imagined. Because someone left those bodies there. Maybe the real monster isn’t lurking out there in the fields . . . Maybe he’s sleeping in her bed.

  

My thoughts about The Girls in the Basement ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)

First lines—"The slamming of a door shatters the silence, jolting Lola into action. The rising chaotic symphony of voices has her closing the oven door with a quick flick of the wrist."

Oh my gosh! Steena has done it again. I don't know how she writes such deeply disturbing stories full of creepy, disturbing characters. But I have loved every one of her stories! She is the master of thrillers and creepy characters. 

The Girls in the Basement takes you exactly where you think it is going to. Who is doing those horrible things to those girls and how do the people around those monsters not know what is going on? And then when the twist at the end is thrown in, I seriously had to take a break. Masterpiece!

I highly recommend this story if you love thrillers that will keep you on your toes. It is a definite page-turner. 

I received an ARC of The Girls in the Basement and this is my honest opinion.
