Most people wouldn\'t buy an infamous murder house to renovate for fun.
But as she peels back the curling wallpaper and discovers the house\'s secrets, she realizes that the deadly legacy of Black Wood House has only just begun..
With every passing moment, Sarah\'s life spirals further out of control--and with it, her sense of reality.
And though the builders attempt to cover up Black Wood\'s horrifying past, a series of bizarre accidents, threatening notes, and unexplained footsteps in the attic only confirms for Sarah what the rest of the town already knew: Something is very wrong in that house.
Instead, the neighbors hate her guts and her husband still sleeps on the couch.
Sarah imagined custom avocado wallpaper, massive profits, and an appreciative husband who wants to share her bed again.
But the renovations are fast becoming a nightmare.
Good thing nobody knows that her past is just as filthy as the bloodstain on her bedroom floor.
Plus, renovating Black Wood House makes for great blog content and a decent distraction from her failing marriage.
Turns out, you can get a killer deal on a house where someone was murdered.
A therapist and self-help writer with all the answers, Sarah has just bought a gorgeous Victorian in the community of her dreams.
But Sarah Slade is not most people.
