description: Annie Phillips is
thrilled to leave her past behind and begin a shiny new life on
Belvedere Island, as a nanny for the picture-perfect Cohen family. In no
time at all, she falls in love with the Cohens, especially with Libby,
the beautiful young matriarch of the family. Life is better than she
ever imagined. She even finds romance with the boy next door.
All too soon cracks appear in Annie's seemingly perfect world. She's blamed for mistakes she doesn't remember making. Her bedroom door comes unhinged, and she feels like she's always being watched. Libby, who once felt like a big sister, is suddenly cold and unforgiving. As she struggles to keep up with the demands of her new life, Annie's fear gives way to frightening hallucinations. Is she tumbling into madness, or is something sinister at play?
The Ruining is a complex ride through first love, chilling manipulation, and the terrifying depths of insanity.

My thoughts: A bit of a Turn of the Screw thing going on here, so of course it sounds great! Very cool cover, too.
In December I'm going to make a file with all the beautiful books that are coming out in 2013. I love this cover and it sounds super good.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds SO good! The synopsis reminds me a little of Tighter by Adele Griffin which is one of my faves, and there's a Turn of the Screw thing going on there too!
