In Edenburg, Bavaria, 1900, we are introduced to a house on a rock, it started off as a simple house built by Cassie's great great grandfather overlooking the Bratvian Forest. He then starts to build more and more levels to house his collection of stuffed owls and book collection and then some more levels later on, which now housed five generations of the Engel family. Everything seemed somewhat normal in Cassie's life (if you don't count the rooms filled with owls and her peculiar family), until a huge storm starts brewing and blows a cherub through her window, which starts the events of eerie things occurring and changes Cassie's life forever.
Still, this is a lovely and gripping story, one that I just couldn’t stop reading. Not only did I devour it whole, but I was haunted afterwards by the magic and mystery of the family house, the family members and the worldbuilding. I wanted to know so much more!
