Summary from Egmont
Once hidden in the dusty basement of the Biltmore Estate
where her pa worked as hired help, young Serafina now struggles to
adjust to her new life of airs and graces upstairs in the grand house.
Uncertain
about what the discovery of her mother in the dark forests that
surround the house means, Serafina finds herself caught between two very
different lives.
But when a sinister arrival
threatens her whole world, Serafina and her new friend Braeden must
solve the mystery of this new evil before it engulfs everything – and
everyone – they’ve ever known . .
Nayu's thoughts
It
got too scary for me to continue! I enjoyed the first book, Serafina and the Black Cloak, which I
struggled with the darker parts.
I wanted to know if Serafina would
be okay after an event tears her apart from Braeden, but I read past
where I was comfortable and, knowing books like this get more intense
as the pages go by, decided I couldn't stand to read any more as I
was getting freaked out at the horrors Serafina endures. I gave it a
high grade because it's engrossing, and I love Serafina's
determination. I like how she finally made a girl friend, and I'd had
high hopes for that friendship, but it's too scary a read for me!
