ON HOLD FOR REVISIONS
"Not everything is as it seems, my darling. After all, the more you learn, the less you see."
Dead. The last living relative of the orphan, Gabriella Adelaide, turns up dead due to mysterious, unknown causes. No one can seem to understand what had happened to her Aunt. However, the mystery continues when Gabriella soon inherits Deacon's Manor. As stated in her Aunt's will, the young 21-year-old is to receive riches she never could've imagined, along with the woman's former residence, Deacon's Manor.
Gabriella soon discovers untold secrets, dreadful pasts, and darkness lurking through the manor. Although, besides the present staff and herself, she can't help but shiver from the sudden chills which pass from her toes to her spine. Can't help but wonder, is she really alone in the manor?
Five high school students - total strangers with absolutely nothing in common - are shocked to learn they've jointly inherited a multimillion-dollar estate from a wealthy woman none of them have ever met. Days later, the mysterious benefactor is confirmed to have been murdered.
Now, the teens are prime suspects in an active investigation.
As police begin interrogations, they're forced together under one roof - a sprawling, decaying mansion perched in the Los Angeles hills, filled with secrets, shadows, and whispers. One of them swears it's haunted. Another swears one of them is lying.
What starts as survival becomes something deeper - love, betrayal, buried pasts, paranormal terror... and a killer hiding in plain sight.
What could be more nerve-wracking than knowing your life, your heart, and your freedom depend on trusting the very people who might destroy you?
