The first sentence of this book grabs you by the throat, and you're hooked ever since.
Violetta lives in a world filled with monsters. They haunt the lake, her childhood, and most of all, her brother Arien's nightmares. Then a young Lord comes, telling them he can help Arien and ordering them to return with him to his nearly-deserted family estate. The only problem is, he might be the biggest monster of them all.
The author uses the chilling atmosphere to great effect to build up the ominous feeling that pervades the book. Violetta learns that not every locked door leads to a secret you want to find, and to protect the ones she loves, she may have to face the greatest terror of them all.
The tight pacing and the bonds between characters draw you deeper and deeper into the world of the story. The ending will leave you wondering for a long time.
