This women’s fiction holiday read is truly a special book filled with many timely lessons, such as the importance of finding a work/ life balance, letting people in versus shutting those closest to you out, and figuring out what’s most important in life. The descriptions throughout and the Cornwall setting was beautiful too and I enjoyed the journey I got to go on with Eva as the book progressed.

The last thing Eva expects on Christmas morning though, is to wake up in the body of a different guest! R. James, from Edgar Allan Poe’s terrifying tale of a doppelganger to Charlotte Riddell’s Open Door that should definitely stay shut, join Stephen as he tells you some truly terrifying tales.
