Happy Wednesday, fellow book lovers! This week’s “can’t wait to read” is:
Seraphina and the Black Cloak
Robert Beatty
Publication Date: July 14, 2015
A spooky mystery-thriller about an unusual girl who lives secretly in the basement of the grand Biltmore Estate.
“Never go into the deep parts of the forest, for there are many dangers there and they will ensnare your soul.”
Serafina has never had a reason to disobey her pa and venture beyond the grounds of Biltmore Estate. There’s plenty to explore in the shadowed corridors of her vast home, but she must take care to never be seen. None of the rich folk upstairs know that Serafina exists; she and her pa, the estate’s maintenance man, have secretly lived in the basement for as long as Serafina can remember.
But when children at the estate start disappearing, only Serafina knows who the culprit is: a terrifying man in a black cloak who stalks Biltmore’s corridors at night. Following her own harrowing escape, Serafina risks everything by joining forces with Braeden Vanderbilt, the young nephew of Biltmore’s owners. Braeden and Serafina must uncover the Man in the Black Cloak’s true identity before all of the children vanish one by one.
Serafina’s hunt leads her into the very forest that she has been taught to fear. There she discovers a forgotten legacy of magic that is bound to her own identity. In order to save the children of Biltmore, Serafina must seek the answers that will unlock the puzzle of her past.
Well, you know I love thrillers (horror) and this one is set in my home state! The Biltmore Estate seems like a perfect place for a creepy story! I can’t wait to get my hands on this one!
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
