It's customary for Gothic romance novels to include a mysterious girl locked in the attic. Hannah Smith just wishes she wasn't that girl. As a narcoleptic and the companion to an earl's daughter with a strange affliction of her own, Hannah knows she's lucky to have a roof over her head and food in her belly when so many orphans starve on the streets. Yet freedom is something Hannah longs for. She did not, however, want her freedom to arrive in the form of kidnapping.
Taken by handsome Jack Langley to a place known as Freak House, she finds herself under the same roof as a mad scientist, his niece, a mute servant and Jack, a fire starter with a mysterious past. They assure Hannah she is not a prisoner and that they want to help her. The problem is, they think she's the earl's daughter. What will they do when they discover they took the wrong girl?
Cover thoughts...
Dani- The title doesn’t match the cover in my opinion but that is what makes it so appealing to me. I want to discover the connection.
Jax- The girl on the cover is stunning, and the house is gorgeous, yet creepy.

At first I thought this was a retelling of Jane Eyre- but not quite! This sounds really interesting.
ReplyDeleteWow that sounds like a great read. Sort of gothic inspired. Love it!

Gotta have a fire starter. I have one in my latest MS. She can't help but start fires.

Ooh, that sounds like an awkward conversation pending. :) I kind of like this cover, maybe because of its Gothic-like feel.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the girl is very pretty on the cover! Weird plot though!
