A summer of nannying takes a terrifying turn when Blair discovers a legacy of mysterious deaths connected to her employer's sprawling summer estate...but the secrets Blair is harboring may be just as deadly. A pulse-pounding new YA horror thriller from acclaimed author Dana Mele.
The last place Blair Carver wants to spend the summer is on the remote Pearl Island. Still, nannying for the reclusive Hathorne family off the coast of Maine is an escape from a complicated junior year and home life--even with all the rules that must be followed.
Stepping onto the island is like traveling back in time. Raven's Nook, the Hathorne's estate, sprawls around a century's old lighthouse. A cemetery on the property conceals family secrets, a creepy collection of dolls won't stay put, and a forbidden upstairs room seems to hold the key to what the family is hiding.
Blair's already uneasy around their young charges, who are cold and standoffish, and when the children start hazing Blair with a series of escalating--dangerous--pranks, the town's whispers about the Hathorne curse grow louder. Blair has dark secrets too, family secrets that have been passed down for generations, and if Blair's not careful, they're all going become part of the island's fatal legend.
