She built a predator.In a world where your own reflection can betray you and the very floorboards remember your name, Maya must uncover the secret of the Resident Archive before the calcification is complete.From the mind of Naomi Amberwoods comes a sophisticated, "Cozy Horror" thriller that asks the ultimate question: In a house designed for a lifetime of solitude, who-or what-is really living in the walls?
