Annie Phillips is thrilled to leave her past behind and begin a shiny new life on Belvedere Island, as a nanny for the picture-perfect Cohen family. In no time at all, she falls in love with the Cohens, especially with Libby, the beautiful young matriarch of the family. Life is better than she ever imagined. She even finds romance with the boy next door.
All too soon cracks appear in Annie's seemingly perfect world. She's blamed for mistakes she doesn't remember making. Her bedroom door comes unhinged, and she feels like she's always being watched. Libby, who once felt like a big sister, is suddenly cold and unforgiving. As she struggles to keep up with the demands of her new life, Annie's fear gives way to frightening hallucinations. Is she tumbling into madness, or is something sinister at play?
Intrigue please. I am so curious how this story develops and what is all going on. The cover is very interesting already with a young girl drowning.

Write reactiesThis sounds so intense! Reminds me a bit of Henry James' 'The Turn of the Screw' with the nanny/governess getting a paranoid (or haunted!?) in a big house. Great pick! :)
