About this book:

She inherited a house she never knew existed. A crumbling Victorian estate on a lonely cliff, wrapped in the shadows of ancient cypress trees and the whispers of a family she barely remembers. The lawyer’s terms are simple: live there for one year, or lose everything. But the house has been locked away for decades, waiting for a Thorne to return—and it has a memory longer than most people. From the moment Elena steps through the door, the silence is broken by thuds in the attic, scratches in the walls, and a cryptic note from her dead aunt: *Stay inside after the sun sets.*

When the local caretaker warns her that some things are buried for a reason, Elena knows she’s stumbled into a maze of secrets her family never wanted unearthed. Between a hidden journal, a locked room, and a figure watching from the tree line, every shadow in the House on Cypress Lane feels alive. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes the past isn’t just haunting her—it’s trying to trap her. For fans of gothic suspense and twist-heavy thrillers, this is a chilling descent into the darkness that bloodlines can hide.
