This was my first book by this duo but it was a FANTASTIC one! 

Kate's back to her family ancestral home when her mom dies and she inherits it. She hasn't been back for 18 years because her sister disappeared back then and Kate can't remember much.

I absolutely love that every chapter starts with a part of Hansel + Gretel and it really lent itself to what was going to come in that chapter. 

I love how Villa Magda was a living, breathing (of course figuratively) entity on its own. It knew all the secrets. It was creepy as all get out and I loved (except one thing) seeing what happened there while Kate, family and friends resided there.

Alice. That's all I can say. Alice. People have to read it for themselves. Such a selling point for me in this book!

I was surprised at the ending and of the "who done it all". I started to suspect a little, tiny bit but was still shocked.
