the cover and title of this book immediately drew me in from the silhouette in the window and ominous tone making me so intrigued, especially as I would loved to see how the symbols and pictures tie into the novel! after reading the synopsis I am even more excited to read this book around halloween to increase the suspense and eerie feeling of the hidden secrets. I am especially excited to see Maude's perspective and what the house is hiding as well as how Maude and Nell's pasts will be revealed and shock me! Overall I am very excited to read this book!
