Więcej o książce

When Bellamy McGuire is offered a summer job babysitting for the wealthy Baldwin family, she hesitates, aware of the town's whispers about the mansion's dark past, particularly the mysterious disappearance of the Baldwins' eldest son, Tate. Once a celebrated football star, Tate became a recluse at sixteen, with rumors swirling about a strange illness that turned him into a "real-life monster." Though Bellamy wants to dismiss these tales as mere gossip, her unease grows when she learns she must promise never to visit the mansion's third floor. As she delves deeper into her role, Bellamy discovers that Tate's condition may not be the only secret hidden within Baldwin House. The family's financial history is murky, and there are unsettling connections to dubious characters. Strange noises, unexplained drafts, and power outages plague the nights, alongside mysterious rose petals that only Bellamy seems to notice. These petals create a trail leading to the forbidden third floor, past a portrait of a handsome young man and into a dark hallway she vowed to avoid. As Bellamy seeks to unravel the mysteries surrounding Baldwin House and Tate, she realizes she may be in over her head. Can her courage and determination help uncover the truth and free the young man whose story has captivated her heart?
