The House at Watch Hill

YOUR FAVOURITE AUTHORS FAVOURITE AUTHOR: KAREN MARIE MONING IS BACK WITH A SEDUCTIVE NEW SERIES... 'Moning's world building is extensive and inspired' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW **** THE HOUSE AT WATCH HILL was a patient beast, born of dichotomy, a familiar stranger, a beautiful monstrosity. It seduced before it terrified. And it would never be done with me... I was the sweetest thing the evil in those walls ever tasted. **** Zoey Grey is still reeling from the sudden death of her mother when she receives a call from an unknown attorney in Divinity, Louisiana, offering her an inheritance from a long-lost relative. With nothing left to lose, Zoey heads to Divinity and discovers a sprawling mansion that seems to pull inward - Watch Hill, an entity cloaked in shadows and laden with secrets. But there's a catch: she must endure three years alone within its ominous walls to claim her fortune. As Zoey delves deeper into the mansion's mysteries, she encounters a sinister, red-eyed owl, a captivating Scottish groundskeeper, doors that go nowhere, others that are impossible to open, and a turret into which there is no visible means of ingress, all while the townsfolk whisper of dark legends. Unaware of her own ties to the house, Zoey must confront ancient evils and unlock something deep and dark within herself . . . before evil consumes her completely.
