FROM GOODREADS: Complete with photo illustrations and eerie black-and-white art, this all-new gothic horror series from the New York Times bestselling author of Asylum
tells the story of teenager Louisa Ditton, who finds employment as a
maid at a boarding house in Northern England—only to discover that the
owner is executing his own brand of dark justice on the guests.
After escaping a harsh school where punishment was the lesson of the day, Louisa Ditton is thrilled to find employment as a maid at a boarding house. But soon after her arrival at Coldthistle House, Louisa begins to realize that the house’s mysterious owner, Mr. Morningside, is providing much more than lodging for his guests. Far from a place of rest, the house is a place of judgment, and Mr. Morningside and his staff are meant to execute their own justice on those who are past being saved.
Louisa begins to fear for a young man named Lee who is not like the other guests. He is charismatic and kind, and Louisa knows that it may be up to her to save him from an untimely judgment. But in this house of distortions and lies, how can Louisa be sure whom to trust?

ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Sounds creepy enough! I hope you'll like it! :D
ReplyDeleteWell, you know how I feel about the horror genre, Barb....I won't touch it with a ten-foot pole! Lol. Having said that, I do think it's interesting that this author has obviously done a new twist on the great classic, "Jane Eyre". It's too bad this twist went down the path it did, though, for me. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you enjoy this one!! :)
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my own WOW post!! <3 :)
Ooh this sounds spooky and scary and all that. And that tagline, along with the cover- wow.
