Sophie and Joseph Argenton have survived the impossible...for now. But their escape from Northwood is short-lived. The beast survived, and attached itself to Joseph's young cousin, Elise. Garrett writes to beg for their help. Joseph and Sophie travel to meet him at Kensington, a long-abandoned mansion that overlooks a dead town. The house offers a small hope: its original owner had dedicated her life to researching the monster that possesses Elise. Garrett hopes to find a way to kill the creature without harming his daughter. But Kensington is a dangerous building. Once the carriage leaves, they're trapped inside the collapsing walls and forced to confront the horrors within. Shrouded figures stalk them. Whispers echo through the night. Unmarked graves dot the property. And the dead are not as restful as they seem...

I enjoyed this even more than the first one. I wasn't sure if the book would be better because of what happens in book one but I was wrong. Darcy Coates has a way of writing these awesome horror scenes. She really brings a book to life with those. I enjoyed the main characters even more than in book one. They didn't annoy me then but i felt like the book could have been longer to flesh out their romance a bit more but they come together nicely here. We even see Sophie show even more spunk that she's not even aware she has. The more of Darcy's books i read, the bigger of a fan I become.
