So, what's the story all about then?
Don’t play the game.
In 1893, Evelyn and Claire leave their home in a Yorkshire town for
life in a rural retreat on their beloved moors. But when a strange toy
garden mysteriously appears, a chain of increasingly terrifying events
is unleashed. Neighbour Matthew Dixon befriends Evelyn, but seems to
have more than one secret to hide. Then the horror really begins. The
Garden of Bewitchment is all too real and something is threatening the
lives and sanity of the women. Evelyn no longer knows who - or what - to
believe. And time is running out.
This book sounds right up my alley. I'm looking forward to reading it!
