Marigold and her family have moved to the Midwest from California to give her a fresh start. They have moved into the only renovated house on a street full of dilapidated houses. Mari starts to hear cracks and groans in the house but writes them off until things go missing and her step-sister starts to act oddly. When she finally figures out what is happening, she will never understand it. 

 

This was my first read by this author, and I wonder what else she can do. This book handled a two-family dynamic well, and it also did a good job of dealing with a child who was addicted to drugs. The creep factor inched up bit by bit but what skeeved me out was the constant mention of bed bugs - there was just so much of it. The ending was unexpected and leaned on a fear that not many people give much thought to.
