I was expecting a little bit more from this book, and the ending left me feeling sort of disappointed. The story took a little while to get going, but once Emily got to the secluded French estate to start her new job, it got more exciting. Both Nina and Scott are unreliable characters and Emily doesn't quite know enough about either of them to trust them completely. Even so, she moves into their guest house on a very remote, locked/gated estate in France. Everything around her is beautiful, from the sea, to the pool on the estate. Scott is also very handsome and she is drawn to him as well. Nina is friendly, but Emily can tell something odd is going on with the way she watches Emily's every move. And then there is Aurelia, a mysterious but adorable little girl who has a strange illness and is mute. Why doesn't she speak? Why doesn't she like to be touched? Just what is wrong with Aurelia, anyway? Or is there something Nina and Scott are hiding from Emily? When things start to get suspicious, however, it's too late for Emily to leave. She's part of their family now...whether she wants to be or not.
