I am excited to share with you the release of a book that was not only a surprise but a family saga like none other! With the perfect amount of twists and turns and a story that was so unique and well developed, it left me guessing the entire book.
Today is the big day for this new release and I was thrilled to have been able to introduce you to this awesome mystery. Rous killed it with her compelling storytelling and her ability to tell multiple streams at the same time. The story is just an amazing contemporary mystery with the intrigue of not knowing the true story until the end.
Definitely a story that you will need to read for the non-run of the mill novel!

SYNOPSIS:
1988. Beth Soames is fourteen years old when her aunt takes her to stay at Raven Hall, a rambling manor in the isolated East Anglian fens. The Averells, the family who lives there, are warm and welcoming, and Beth becomes fast friends with their daughter, Nina. At times, Beth even feels like she’s truly part of the family…until they ask her to help them with a harmless game—and nothing is ever the same.
2019. Sadie Langton is an actress struggling to make ends meet when she lands a well-paying gig to pretend to be a guest at a weekend party. She is sent a suitcase of clothing, a dossier outlining the role she is to play, and instructions. It’s strange, but she needs the money, and when she sees the stunning manor she’ll be staying at, she figures she’s got nothing to lose.
In person, Raven Hall is even grander than she’d imagined—even with damage from a fire decades before—but the walls seem to have eyes. As day turns to night, Sadie starts to feel that there’s something off about the glamorous guests who arrive, and as the party begins, it becomes chillingly apparent their unseen host is playing games with everyone…including her.
