This fast paced YA gothic thriller had me reading into the wee hours of the night.
Written from 16 year old Margot's point of view, this story has all the suspense of an adult thriller, but without the gratuitous adult themes (which I found refreshing).
Being the lone survivor of an accident that killed her entire family, Margot is battling inner demons. When a generous and wealthy family takes her in, it seems too good to be true. And it is. Margot, who's sanity is questionable on a good day, is to be a companion for the family's once charismatic, but now catatonic daughter.
The writing was excellent, very atmospheric and dark. A secluded estate, off the grid with locked rooms. Family secrets and someone who wants them to stay buried.
I enjoyed the many directions this plot went, and how the author tied everything back together. This book would be a great read for a young adult/teen.
