The other orphans say Margot is lucky. Lucky to survive the horrible accident that killed her family. Lucky to have her own room because she wakes up screaming every night.
And finally, lucky to be chosen by a prestigious family to live at their remote country estate.
But it wasn't luck that made the Suttons rescue Margot from her bleak existence at the group home. Margot was hand-picked to be a companion to their silent, mysterious daughter, Agatha. At first, helping with Agatha - and getting to know her handsome older brother - seems much better than the group home. But soon, the isolated, gothic house begins playing tricks on Margot’s mind, making her question everything she believes about the Suttons... and herself.
Margot’s bad dreams may have stopped when she came to live with Agatha – but the real nightmare has just begun.
REVIEW: I went into this book thinking it was going to be something completely different than what it was. I don't want to say that I was disappointed because I did almost listen to it all the way through for 10 hours of the audio because I really needed to know what was going to happen. That being said I did have a few problems with this book as far as plot and character development. There were also, what I felt, were quite a few unanswered questions at the end. Margot's inner dialogue was that of a strong girl who knows how to stand up for herself while her outer demeanor is almost completely opposite. There are characters throughout the book sho seem to disappear and we never hear from them again. There is a romance factor that I felt was completely unnecessary as far as the story goes. The ending was also tied up in a little bow that didn't make total sense to me. Overall this book was a 2.5 out of 5. It was low on the creep factor and a good starter for those who maybe don't typically read psychological thrillers.
