Beschreibung
The Haunting of Hill House meets Knives Out in a bid for an inheritance that will leave Helen Vaughan either rich…or dead.

Helen Vaughan hasn't seen her extended family since she was a child-until she has a vision of her estranged grandfather. He tells her that her ancestral home awaits, but warns that she must beware of "the spiral"…whatever that means. And then she learns that her grandfather is dead.

When Helen, her mother, and stepfather return to Harrowstone Hall for the funeral, they expect to leave immediately after the service. There's nothing but bad blood between her mom and the rest of the family. That is, until it's revealed that the bulk of her grandfather's grandiose fortune, along with Harrow itself, have been left to Helen-though everyone else will still receive several million dollars apiece. There's just one catch: Helen must remain on the estate for one whole year, or none of them will see a penny of it.

It's a simple enough task, so Helen agrees. But there's more to Harrow than meets the eye; it's not safe to wander the hallways at night and one must never, ever stay out past the evening bell. For the grounds are crawling with creatures that have a mind of their own. And even though Helen is sure she's never been to Harrow before, its spiraling halls seem to know her. The question of her new residency is no longer will she leave, but can she.

Über den Autor

Zusammenfassung
DELICIOUSLY CREEPY: Kate Alice Marshall is the Queen of Scream, and this horrifying, haunted story is no exception. With jump scares inspired by creations like a creepy child spirit reminiscent of The Shining, this book will have you sleeping with the lights on.

REFRESHING ROMANCE: Protagonist Helen has a tension-filled romance with Bryony-aka the Witch of Harrow. Their chemistry sizzles, and the honest queer rep is a perfect counterpoint to the "can't look/can't look away" scary plot.

CINEMATIC SCARY MYSTERY: With creepy crawlies straight out of The Haunting of Hill House, Kate has woven a family inheritance drama (and mystery) reminiscent of Knives Out. This is just the sort of story that is hooking audiences right now.

RISING STAR AUTHOR: Kate's name has only continued to rise, with her debut I Am Still Alive hitting the Indie bestseller list, and her more recent horror offerings, Rules for Vanishing and Our Last Echoes getting rave reviews from readers and critics alike. Audiences are eager for the next Kate Alice Marshall installment.
