Daniel is desperate for a job. When someone slides a note under his door offering him the groundskeeper’s position at an old estate, it seems too good to be true.

Alarm bells start ringing when he arrives at Craven Manor. The mansion’s front door hangs open, and leaves and cobwebs coat the marble foyer. It’s clear no one has lived there in a long time.

But an envelope waits for him inside the doorway. It contains money, and promises more.

Daniel is desperate. Against his better judgement, he moves into the groundskeeper’s cottage behind the crypt. He’s determined to ignore the strange occurrences that plague the estate.

But when a candle flickers to life in the abandoned tower window, Daniel realises Craven Manor is hiding a terrible secret… one that threatens to bury him with it.

Great wonderful read

The author really makes it feel as if you were there. I could easily see this being made into a movie as long as the author keeps a handle on it!

3.5 stars. I've had such a rollercoaster “relationship” with this author. Where I love the story but hate the main characters. It's rough. LoL. But I took a break from her and I'm glad I did because I really enjoyed this one. Daniel was likeable...insanely naive..but likeable. I could tell he was very young. His age was confirmed at the end of the book but I could tell. His life was good until it wasn't, but he was still a hard working kid who couldn't catch a break. And it was that naivete that set things in motion really. He took two conflicting stories at face value. Which, of course, can cause a problem if you run off half cocked without asking questions first.
This story actually ended the way I wanted it to end..but i thought it was ridiculous thought..until it did end that way LOL.
