  There are worse places than hell…
  Hotel Beresford is a grand, old building, just outside the city. And any soul is welcome.
  Danielle Ortega works nights, singing at whatever dive bar will offer her a gig. She gets by, keeping to herself. Sam Walker gambles and drinks, and can`t keep his hands to himself. Now he`s tied up in a shoe closet with a dent in his head that matches Danielle`s broken ashtray.
  The man in 731 has been dead for two days and his dog has not stopped barking. Two doors down, the couple who always smokes on the window ledge will mysteriously fall.
  Upstairs, in the penthouse, Mr Balliol sees it all. He can peer into every crevice of every floor of the hotel from his screen-filled suite. He witnesses humanity and inhumanity in all its forms: loneliness, passion and desperation in equal measure. All the ingredients he needs to make a deal.
  When Danielle returns home one night to find Sam gone, a series of sinister events begins to unfold. But strange things often occur at Hotel Beresford, and many are only a distraction to hide something much, much darker…
  For fans of Chuck Palahniuk, Bret Easton Ellis, Jennifer Egan and Jonathan Franzen

  The shadows at Brannon House don't just watch . . . They remember. 
   
  When Billa feels eyes following her every move in her cottage on the edge of the estate, she dismisses it as paranoia—the lingering trauma of her kidnapping. But as the sensation intensifies, she reluctantly considers the one place she swore she'd never move into: the mansion. 
   
  Meanwhile, new mother Kenzi is harboring secrets that even she may not fully understand—memories hidden away by time, trauma . . . or something far darker. As she searches for her missing psychiatric files from Radley Institution, disturbing questions emerge. Was her time there longer than anyone has admitted? And what really happened in the abandoned theater on the grounds? 
   
  When Billa's kidnapper resurfaces with more demands, the family's fragile peace shatters. Carol, the devoted auntie, grows increasingly protective of the newborn as strange occurrences plague the estate. 
   
  As the walls of Brannon House close in, one thing becomes clear—the past isn't just haunting them, it's hunting them. 
   
  Will they uncover the truth before history claims another victim . . . or are the Brannons bound to bleed for their legacy?
