What a cool read for the Halloween season!
The premise of this story is Josephine (Jo) living next door
to the Marwick House, which was supposedly haunted. All Jo really knew was the
neighbors closed their blinds on the sides of their homes so they couldn’t see
Marwick House, as well as the fact that none of the families who moved in
stayed for very long. In fact, the last family living there left in the middle
of the night, leaving all their belongings, never to return. Then, Anna moved
in.
Being somewhat of a loner, but also being curious, Jo met
Anna and they became friends, of sorts. Jo also has a cousin, Lukas, who stops
in occasionally just to make sure things were okay with Jo. I had a suspicion
there was more to Jo’s story as to why she was alone but that was left a
mystery. Lukas also met Anna; yes, there’s more there.
And let’s not forget Helen.
What I really liked about this tale was the description of Helen when she showed up and the backstory surrounding her. I liked the descriptions of the noises that Jo, especially, would hear when she was in Marwick House. I liked the darkness that surrounded Marwick House and the descriptions of how just being in its presence would affect different people. If you like a good ghost story, pick this one up.
