Synopsis
"A supernatural story of love, ghosts, and madness as a young couple, newly engaged, become caretakers of a historical museum. When Nick Beron and Hannah Rampe decide to move from New York City to the tiny upstate town of Hibernia, they aren't exactly running away, but they need a change. Their careers have flatlined, the city is exhausting, and they've reached a relationship stalemate. Hannah takes a job as live-in director of the Wright Historic House, a museum dedicated to an obscure nineteenth-century philosopher. She and Nick swiftly move into their new home. The town’s remoteness, the speed with which Hannah is offered the job, and the lack of museum visitors are barely a blip in their consideration.
At first, life in this old, creaky house feels cozy—they speak in Masterpiece Theater accents and take bottles of wine to the swimming hole. But as summer turns to fall, Hannah begins to have trouble sleeping and hears whispers at night. One morning, Nick wakes up to find Hannah gone. In his frantic search for her, Nick will discover the hidden."

I rate this book 5/5 stars. I got this book at The Book Table in Oak Par. The cover really fascinated me. Even though this was a horror book, it didn't feel like it. The relationship with the characters was elegant. The plot was so well crafted and heartbreaking. This novel reminded me of the Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House. The series had a lot f scary moments while also having very intense sad moments. Overall, I recommend this book and get a copy. If you have read this book, let me know what you thought about it!
