All the dead lie down
(Book)

Newly orphaned seventeen-year old Marin accepts a nanny position for an acclaimed horror writer and her mother's childhood friend, but she soon realizes all is not well at Lovelace House and must unravel its secrets before they consume her.

After a tragedy leaves Marin Blythe alone in the world, she receives an invitation from Alice Lovelace-- an acclaimed horror writer and childhood friend of Marin's mother-- offering a nanny position at Lovelace House, the family's coastal Maine estate. Alice's girls are peculiar: Thea buries her dolls one by one, hosting a series of funerals; Wren does everything in her power to drive Marin away. Alice's eldest, Evie Hallowell, is every bit as strange as her younger sisters, and yet Marin is drawn in by Evie's ethereal grace. But something dangerous lurks in the woods, leaving mutilated animals in its wake. All is not well at Lovelace House-- and Marin must unravel its secrets before they consumer her. -- adapted from jacket
