Gabriel, a devoted single father, seeks refuge for his daughter, Anne, amidst a raging blizzard. Lost in the blinding snow, they stumble upon a newly constructed home nestled deep in the woods—a beacon of hope in the storm's fury. But what appears to be a sanctuary quickly turns sinister when they discover the house's true nature—a state-of-the-art smart home, seemingly alive and malevolent.

Trapped within its sleek walls, cut off from the outside world, Gabriel's desperation intensifies. Every attempt to escape this high-tech fortress only tightens its grip. Stranded without essentials, the house becomes a merciless captor, with starvation and thirst looming ominously.

As Gabriel fights to break free, the house's dark secrets unfurl, revealing a chilling truth. Time slips away, and with it, their chance for survival dwindles. In 'Shelter,' a riveting psychological suspense, Gabriel's unwavering love for Anne faces an unprecedented challenge. Can he decipher the house's twisted game and secure Anne's safety before their hope dissolves into the chilling embrace of the unknown?

About the Author

Hi there!

I'm Erica R. Stinson, a suspenseful and fast-paced thriller author, known for the NYPD Detective Millicent Harvey series and the Doctor Oliver Perritt series. I am also very happy to announce my latest book, "Wide Angle" which is a psychological suspense thriller. I am already hard at work on my next project, a domestic thriller titled "Smothered" that will be released in Spring 2024.

My love for writing is only surpassed by my love for cooking, knitting, gardening, playing chess and video games, and spending time with my niece, Gianna.

I used to own Gigi Cake Shoppe, but I closed it in 2017 to focus solely on writing. I am a lifelong New Yorker, residing on the East Coast, and you can stay up to date with my latest work by signing up for updates.

My books, "The Doctor", "Mirror Mirror" and "Shelter" are also still available. And while I have taken down the Detective Millicent Harvey series for re-editing and re-branding, don't worry, she'll be back!

5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing Mystery

"Shelter" by Erica R. Stinson, was a great Audible book. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and how they all merged in the end. A realistic accident that can happen, in a snow storm. The use of technology for an alarm system that can turn on anyone and instead of feeling safe in "Shelter" you become afraid of being found frozen and dead. Also the Father and daughter relationship that brings them together; to find strength and hope. Finally I like the history of the characters that this story starts out and comes full circle in the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars A real roller coaster ride!

What do you get when you build a story around two families who are damaged from personal loss? Shelter is what you get, this story will set you on an emotional roller-coaster ride that has some significant highs and some lows as deep as the ocean floor. Erica Stinson has created some very memorable characters who are not just believable, but filled with basic human failings and flaws, not to mention weaving a tale almost as old as time yet updated to include the trappings of our modern age. Having J Bruce McRell narrating this story made it super enjoyable, his delivery and enthusiasm was excellent.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is a "self published" book.

This was the worst book ever. Poorly written, spelling errors and terrible punctuation. After the first chapter I looked to see who the publisher was and discovered it was "self published". The book had several 5 star reviews. Unfortunately, they were from family and friends. I read 25 pages and threw the book in the trash.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the most suspenseful but a good book
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2020
I don't think this book was a gripping suspense thriller. There was some suspense but I wouldn't classify it as a thriller. It was basically a book about when bad things happen to good people and how they react. It starts with a robbery and murder of Jake's family. Then we meet Gabe and his deaf daughter Anna as Gabe has just lost his job. How these two families meet and what the outcome is is the subject of the remainder of the book. I don't want to spoil the story but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I received a free copy of the audiobook from Story Origin. The narrator did a great job and was very easy to understand. I look forward to reading more of Ms Stinson's work.

2.0 out of 5 stars Big Disappointment

I really wish I had not bought this book!! I was so confused reading the first parts. I thought for sure a mistake happened, and I was reading two different books!! Then I wondered if they had put the wrong content with this title. Then a whole year goes by of Gabriel being unemployed! Doesn't talk about it just appears by the dates of how much time has passes. I do not plan on reading anymore by this author. I try not to give bad reviews, but this one did not live up to all the hype!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book; bad proof-reading
Reviewed in India on February 27, 2019

It's a short - 20 chapters - suspense novel with a happy ending. Good reading on a slow day when you don't want to pick up a more weighty book. The only drawback is that the proof-reading was not done well. The author needs to work on this.
