After the tragic death of their father, Emily and Navin move with their mother to the home of her deceased great-grandfather, but the strange house proves to be dangerous. Before long, a sinister creature lures the kids' mom through a door in the basement.

The plotline was unique and heartbreaking as well that I just felt so bad for both Emily and Navin. The characters were all very well developed and rounded that my heart broke when I read the tragic scene at the beginning chapters of this book. Plus I absolutely loved the writing style so flawless and beautifully written that I couldn't get enough of it I needed too read more!
