The Girls in the Cabin by Caleb Stephens is a nail-biting psychological thriller. Chris lost his wife six months previously, and his daughters won’t talk to him. In a last-ditch attempt to fix things, he arranges a camping trip in the mountains. But things are not right. Kayla is still angry with him over something he did before her mom died, and Emma goes off into the woods. When they find her, she has a broken leg, and they need to seek shelter from the storm heading their way. A woman in a cabin offers them sanctuary and helps strap Emma’s leg, but things are not what they seem, and neither is she. With the roads blocked off and the phones down, Chris and his family are in trouble. Will they get through this night, and if they do, will their experience bind the family once more?

The Girls in the Cabin by Caleb Stephens is one of those books that will grip you right from the start. Some of the descriptions are not pretty, but that’s the nature of the story. It is hard-hitting and heartbreaking all at the same time, and you’ll feel so many emotions as you read it. The characters are amazing and well-developed, and you’ll find them likable and easy to relate to. It’s a dark tale with a twisty plot, and it switches seamlessly between the present and the past in a series of flashbacks, and you won’t see the twist at the end coming. This is a great psychological drama with horror wending its way throughout. If you loved Misery by Stephen King, you’ll love this book.
