Synopsis: 
 When Annabel Lee's mother dies, she travels from Siam to Philadelphia to live with her father. Upon her arrival, the city is abuzz with news of a serial killer on the loose and a warning from her grandfather makes even Annabel's new home sound unsafe to wander at night. Desperate to please her father, Annabel tries to adjust to her new life, but there's a dark secret shadowing her new home and her father may be at the center of it all. 
 Thoughts: 
 I can't quite put my finger on what was missing from this book. The atmosphere was wonderfully creepy (it definitely lives up to that stunning cover), but the plot was a bit too predictable and the dialogue occasionally felt stilted. Poe purists will probably be annoyed by the liberties that the author takes with his work, but those who can be forgiving will be in for an overall entertaining read. This book is book one in a planned duology and the cliffhanger is a doozy. I need answers! 
 Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
