Overview
Vera Bitter is dead, but her secrets have yet to be buried.
After the tragic death of Bridget’s parents, her grandmother took her in. Vera Bitter raised her from behind a closed door—cold and uncaring from the moment she arrived at Bitter House. After Bridget’s high school graduation, Vera kicked her out without so much as a goodbye, and Bridget never heard from her again. Which is why, when she receives word of Vera’s passing and discovers she’s inherited the family manor, she’s immediately filled with dread.
Those worries are amplified when she arrives at Bitter House after years away to find an enigmatic piece of her past waiting for her. Growing up, there was only one person Bridget distrusted more than her grandmother, and that was Cole Warner—the son of Vera’s house manager and the bane of her childhood existence. Now, he’s her new housemate.
Owning the house she was once forced to leave with a man she’s always despised forces Bridget to confront feelings and questions she’s been running from since the day she was driven away from Bitter House.
Then the first letter arrives.
And with it, a world of secrets, darkness, and deception is unlocked. Years ago, Bridget tried and failed to find sanctuary inside the shadowy halls of Bitter House, and as she struggles to imagine a future there now, she discovers a terrifying truth: behind the iron gate and stone walls of the old estate, nothing is quite what it seems. Bitter House has secrets and, if she can’t decide whom to trust, danger lies in wait.
From million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin comes a bone-chilling, thoroughly enjoyable, and achingly addictive thriller set within the walls of a mysterious old manor with a sinister secret.
Review
Vera Bitter has recently passed away. She has left her unique home to her granddaughter, Bridget and her manger’s son, Cole. Bridget was kicked out by her grandmother when she turned 18 and she has no idea why. And now she has to share this house with someone she never trusted, Cole.
Bridget and Cole despise each other. Or rather, Bridget has some trust issues where Cole is concerned. These two were raised together but the mistrust runs deep. However, these two are going to have to work together to unravel all the mysteries and questions literally dropped at their door. Someone is leaving mysterious letters about Vera’s past.
This author has recently become one of my favorites! She has some great intensity and unique situations. And this story is right at the top. I enjoyed all the secrets and the creepy house. I did feel the ending was a bit too neat and tied with a bow! But, getting to the end is twisty and not exactly what I expected! I love a book which has me guessing.
The narrators, Lauren Ezzo; Melanie Carey, are excellent!
