Cassandra Tipp is dead...or is she?
After all, the notorious recluse and eccentric bestselling novelist has always been prone to flights of fancy--everyone in town remembers the shocking events leading up to Cassie's infamous trial (she may have been acquitted, but the insanity defense only stretches so far).
Cassandra Tipp has left behind no body--just her massive fortune, and one final manuscript.
Then again, there are enough bodies in her past--her husband Tommy Tipp, whose mysterious disembowelment has never been solved, and a few years later, the shocking murder-suicide of her father and brother.
Cassandra Tipp will tell you a story--but it will come with a terrible price. What really happened, out there in the woods--and who has Cassie been protecting all along? Read on, if you dare...

My Review: I really tried to enjoy this one but it just seemed off. I couldn't really get into it and it felt like it was missing something to really keep my attention.
Review
“You Let Me In is a dark, delicious confection of a novel, a tour-de-force of the unreliable narrator―or is it? Either way―I loved every word.” ―Louisa Morgan, author of The Secret History of Witches
“This book is an exquisite rarity... nicely original and authentically folkloric: creepy, detailed, entrancing.” ―Joanne Harris, internationally bestselling author
“Haunting, and harrowing, You Let Me In is the kind of fairy tale that keeps you up at night because the monsters are real. I couldn't look away.” ―Alix Harrow, Hugo award-winning author
“You Let Me In is a relentless, heartbreaking exploration of isolation, grooming, and the cycles of abuse that pursue the vulnerable. The Pepper Man is terrifying on levels that will stay with you long after you've put the book down, crawled into bed, closed your eyes, and told yourself that everything is going to be okay.”―Sarah Gailey, author of Magic For Liars
“Readers will find themselves engrossed on a wild trip to a parallel, earthly dimension…masterful…an enthralling story, a genre-blender that perplexes…Neil Gaiman fans are a ready audience for this superb debut, but also suggest it to any patron who’s ready for something astonishingly different.” ―Booklist, starred review
“The suspense builds as the truth about Tipp’s past and present emerges slowly and incrementally… Bruce is especially good at raising goosebumps. Fans of Sarah Pinborough will welcome this new talent.” ―Publishers Weekly, starred review
