Description

BLY MANOR meets MEXICAN GOTHIC in this haunting romance about a dark family lineage, the ghosts of grief, and the lines well cross for love.
The Sleeping House was very much awake

Days after a tragedy leaves Marin Blythe alone in the world, she receives a surprising invitation from Alice Lovelace, an acclaimed horror writer and childhood friend of Marins mother. Alice offers her a nanny position at Lovelace House, the familys coastal Maine estate.

Marin accepts and soon finds herself minding Alices pecular girls. Thea buries her dolls one by one, hosting a series of funerals, while Wren does everything in her power to drive Marin away. Then Alices eldest daughter returns home unexpectedly. Evie Hallowell is every bit as strange as her younger sisters, and yet Marin is quickly drawn in by Evies compelling behaviour and ethereal grace.

But as Marin settles in, she cant escape the anxiety that shadows her. Dead birds appear in Marins room. The childrens pranks escalate. Something dangerous lurks in the woods.

All is not well at Lovelace House, and Marin must unravel its secrets before they consume her.
