"The silence sits like a still bear at the top of the house. She can almost hear the thump of someone’s pulse."

On her 25th birthday, Libby finds out she has inherited a mansion in Chelsea from her birth parents. Surprised, she starts digging into her own past to find out about her biological family to find out what really happened and how she was left, well cared for, while her parents and a mysterious man lay dead downstairs. With two other narrators of the story, the book twists and turns leading the reader in different directions until Libby finds out where she really came from and the horrors of her childhood.

I did not want this story to finish, just as one revelation sunk in, I was met with something that completely threw me off and I was back at the start trying to figure out the mystery of the numerous people that lived in this mansion. Every chapter left me with more questions the closer it got to the end.

I could not figure out how Libby (or Serenity) was born, and I didn't understand until the author pretty much delivered the information on a silver plate. I also had no idea how Lucy was connected with each solution met with more barriers. With the haunting and disturbing storyline which includes domestic abuse and rapes (including that of a child), a cult like atmosphere and a child murderer, it kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.
