It takes a special family to turn a home into a nightmare.
Since her husbandβs unsolved murder three years ago, Iris Blodgettβs life has unraveled. Awash in grief and buried in debt, she canβt pay her mortgageβand now that sheβs lost her job, she has no idea how sheβll provide for her unruly teenage daughter, Ellory.
Facing eviction, Iris turns to her new beau, prominent architect Hugh Smoll, for a shoulder to cry on. But the seemingly perfect Hugh offers her something more: an invitation to move in to his motherβs centuries-old mansion while he renovates the property.
It seems like the perfect solution, but when Iris and Ellory arrive at Ravencliff, the family inside isnβt quite what they expected. Iris didnβt even know Hugh had siblings, much less that theyβd all be living together.
With repairs underway, the house gives up its dark secrets one by one. Before long, Iris unearths a chilling family historyβand the terrifying reason she and Ellory were invited in the first placeβ¦
