When Stan and Mattie take up residence in the dark and crumbling five-story house that Mattie grew up in, and has just inherited from her grandmother, their plans are to clean it out, fix it up, sell it, and return to their quiet life on Cape Cod. Mattie is overwhelmed by the gowns, furs and jewels in GrammyLou's bedroom. Stan is amazed by the fifth-floor ballroom which has been locked up since the night of Mattie's father's thirtieth birthday party -- the party that ended in the car wreck that killed both of her parents. Now, as they set about sifting through GrammyLou's endless possessions they find mysterious things: a closet full of still-wrapped presents, a marked passage in her grandfather's Bible, and a secret drawer with disturbing content. Mattie soon learns that her entire life has been built on a foundation of lies... that she was raised in a house of horror, by a monster.

    This short story was one I could not put down.

    I love this book. I couldn't sleep one night and grabbed my Nook to read a quick story. This story engrosses you within the first 3 pages. Kathleen Valentine is a good writer who develops her characters well within a small amount of pages and creates twists that you don't even see coming (the ending is one I definitely did not see coming). So worth checking out. I highly recommend it. :)
