The Girl in the Woods by Lorna Dounaeva

She had been desperate for a child, just not this child…

When Suzannah and Noel adopt 9 year old Orchid, Noel bonds with her instantly. But there is something about the child that makes Suzannah deeply uncomfortable, and a series of strange and frightening events drive her to her wit’s end.

Can Suzannah convince Noel that something is horribly wrong, or is he too besotted with their new daughter to recognise that the danger they are in?
