Publisher's Summary
Winner of the Edgar Award for Young Adult Fiction!
The other orphans say Margot is lucky.
Lucky to survive the horrible accident that killed her family.
Lucky to have her own room because she wakes up screaming every night.
And finally, lucky to be chosen by a prestigious family to live at their remote country estate.
But it wasn't luck that made the Suttons rescue Margot from her bleak existence at the group home. Margot was handpicked to be a companion to their silent, mysterious daughter, Agatha. At first, helping with Agatha - and getting to know her handsome younger brother - seems much better than the group home. But soon, the isolated house begins playing tricks on Margot’s mind, making her question everything she believes about the Suttons...and herself.
Margot’s bad dreams may have stopped when she came to live with Agatha - but the real nightmare has just begun.
What the critics say
"Margot’s narration feels intimate, especially when she reflects on her potent grief, and Agatha is never used as a prop: She and Margot develop a silent communication that transcends speech. The palpable and steadily building sense of dread throughout is enhanced by a whisper of the supernatural. A pitch-perfect contemporary gothic.” (Kirkus Reviews)
"The suspense and chills are there, and the plot advances the story to a dramatic conclusion that, even if readers can see it coming, is still startling. This book hits all the notes of a solid thriller - creepy mansion, dark family secrets, a little romance, and a plucky heroine. Fans of suspense will enjoy this outing. Alender creates another tingly tale just right for escaping into this summer.” (School Library Journal)

Amazing!
Katie Alender has been my favourite author since he first book series, and this once again wowed me! I read the book and then listened to the audiobook just for the different experience! I really enjoyed it both times!

Great Book!
Enjoyed the book very much. A chapter or two in the middle felt like it was dragging on and almost turning into a romance novel but thankfully it came back around to being a great story again.
the women reading it aloud was easy to listen to and have each character their own distinguished voice was appealing to the story.
Once I started this book, I found myself having a hard time to stop listening.
It's worth a listen to!!
