"This is a book that you will not want to put down. There is an envious feeling around the main character that you can't help but admire and wish you had her tenacity. All the characters are relatable to people you've come across in life and the author does well to capture your imagination around the ways of each of them, meaning soft spots for them truly develop. I am excited that this is a trilogy and so can not wait for the next books.

Some great writing that keeps you interested in what is happening to this mysterious house that I just want to visit now. If you have a curious nature you will love this book.

Great read and highly recommend."
