Ashby heads to Overhome Estate to try and get acquainted with her Overton ancestry and past. She also is there for a purpose of being a caregiver to her young cousin over the summer. Ashby soon finds out that there is much more to this dark, dreary, yet huge and beautiful home that has been in her family for many a century. There is another presence there, one that wants Ashby to help her and to help the truth come out. This presence is Rosabelle. Ashby learns that finding out more information about Rosabelle is harder than she thinks. No one wants to talk about her or will tell Ashby how she is connected to the house or the property. Soon Ashby is learning things about her ancesters that are not very flattering and that make her wonder how safe she is at this wonderful Overton home. With the subtle help of a housekeeper and old family friend Ashby soon discovers things she wishes were still unknown to her. Now that she knows things will she be safe there? Is there such a thing as knowing too much? Can the people she has come to love and care for in this new place be trusted as much as she thinks? What dark secrets lay on the Overhome Estate? At what costs are people willing to keep those secrets hidden?
This was an edge of my seat read. I found it to give just enough information that I just had to read on, but not too much that the rest of the book was all played out in my head after chapter two. The descriptions used in this book to describe things was amazing. I could see the old estate and the wonderful old house perfectly. I also felt like I was experiencing the entire mystery with Ashby. It was a different kind of mystery for me to read. It was more of a dark mystery than a "who done it" mystery. Different as it was to me, I quite enjoyed it. The characters really came to life for me too. They were so well developed, but grew so much through the book. The last few chapters especially are something to write home about, as they say! This was a fast paced book with a little of everything in it for readers. There was adventure, mystery, paranormal, drama, family secrets, spookiness, great relationships, and a little love too. It really fulfills any want I had as a reader. To give more description would be to bring in super spoilers, so to keep it spoil free, I will simply say that so much happens in this book you just have to pick it up and read it. There is no if's, and's, or but's about it! Great writing style, amazing characters, wonderful plot that has a bit of a twist like no other book I have read.
