The plot really peaks with this third volume of the Blackwater's saga. The house, Elinor and Frances are the main characters/elements I can't wait to discover more because I sense something... eerie, mysterious and kind of malicious. 

The saga keeps getting better and better with every volume ! I can't wait to dive in the fourth volume.
