Bliss House
The past never stays buried at Bliss House...
Rainey Bliss Adams' perfect life came to an end one spring afternoon, when her husband was killed in an explosion that horrifically burned their fourteen year-old daughter, Ariel. Desperate for a new start, she takes Ariel to live in the beautiful house in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where the Bliss family has lived for over a century.
Once there, Ariel starts to mysteriously heal. But as a series of tragedies begins to unfold, it becomes clear that a darkness lurks behind the dignified façade of Bliss House - one which will drive both mother and daughter apart, as each is forced to confront its evil on her own...
Richly Gothic, creeping and dark, Bliss House is a haunting tale of loss, love - and the secrets our houses can keep.

In
Bliss House, Laura Benedict has written just the type of novel I love to read: a ghost story replete with good and evil, present and past colliding, and compelling characters to root for; a story that grabs you by throat and heart and won't let go. I loved it

longed for this book - an intelligent haunted house story with twists and turns and a history
