Would you worry about the cost of a locksmith? Or, if you had just been attacked by something, sliced your hand open, and barely got away with your life… Would you immediately worry about having a zit? The emotion needed a more organic flow to have me relating to it. If your daughter was stuck in a vault, possibly suffocating. The emotional responses were a little confused as well, I think. Sometimes the narrative was a little vague and confused and it was hard to follow what was happening. While the storylines complimented each other nicely, I found that they were, in themselves, a little sporadic. The story was written in two timeframes fluctuating between the 1800s and the 1980s.

In the timeframe in which she lived, to be in a medical field and want to go to university was very ambitious!

I enjoyed the charcter of Emma who was smart and strong and the best shot in her family. This was definitely a unique read! I liked all the references to water to tie into the story, opinions that “hold more water” heading into “unchartered waters”, etc. Everything is connected-from the bricks in the walls to the hearts beating in their chests, all the secrets of Fountain Dead are finally unearthed. As romantic entanglements intensify, the paranormal activity escalates. Of course, Mark keeps his ghostly encounters to himself, all the while sinking deeper into the house’s dark, alluring, and ultimately terrifying history. Busy with the relocation and fitting in, Mark’s parents don’t see what’s unfolding around them-the way rooms and left behind objects seem alive with a haunted past. Mark is uprooted from his home and high school in the Twin Cities and forced to move with his family into a Victorian in Nowhere-ville.
