House of the Lost Girls (Flocksdale Files Book 2)
Seventeen-year-old Marianna Bertagnoli is miserable… <br> <br>Not only did her father abandon her five years ago, now she’s being uprooted and forced to move with her mother and new stepdad to a creepy Victorian house they inherited in the even creepier town of Flocksdale. <br> <br>Flocksdale has an evil, ugly past—and history has a way of repeating itself… <br> <br>Marianna notices some strange qualities about her new home, and soon realizes she’s living in none other than the infamous House of Horrors. That’s right, the very house where the demented Garrett family ran a drug ring, leading to the kidnappings and murders of forty young girls. <br> <br>The dark energy of the town begins to rise again… <br> <br>Within a week of moving in, Marianna’s mother disappears, one of her small group of new friends is found murdered, and she’s attacked by a man wearing a hideous clown mask. As she searches for answers, Marianna wonders if the malevolence still lingers, somehow alive…and how her stepdad came to own the House of Horrors. <br> <br>Unsure who to trust, Marianna turns to Wendi Wise, a survivor of the Garretts’ crimes… <br> <br>Caught up in twisted family ties and surrounded by deceit, Marianna is targeted by a new generation of evil. Doubly imprisoned—in her own body and in the real house of the lost girls—Marianna needs Wendi’s help to unravel the bizarre history of Flocksdale. <br> <br>But will Marianna survive long enough to bring the evil to light? <br> <br>Or will she be trapped in the house of the lost girls forever?
