I really, really loved this book. The Family Upstairs is about a young woman who inherits a house with a dark past. As she uncovers the history of the house and its former residents, secrets and mysteries begin to surface. Soon they connect her life to a series of unsettling events.

The creepiness and twists of this book are unmatched by anything else I have read.
