A fast-paced thriller about things that go bump in the night.

After a bad divorce, Evie Archer's mom moves the family to Hobbie House, colloquially known as horror house. The house unsettles Evie right away, and the reader's alarm bells will go off along with Evie's as the unexplainable keeps happening. This is made even more frightening as both the reader and Evie are unsure at first if it's a haunting or if Evie is hallucinating. Two girls have disappeared in Hobbie House over the years, and Evie decides that finding out what happened to them is the key to finding out what's happening to her. When she finds a diary and a doll from one of them, she has a hard time thinking of anything else.

Evie's an interesting character. She loves nothing more than designing and sewing her own clothes, going for a shabby prairie chic look. She's pretty, immediately catching the eye of the golden boy at school. But it's Evie's struggles to reconcile reality with the shadow world lurking beyond that adds the most intrigue.

This book ends with a cliffhanger twist, paving the way for a sequel.
