Dark Secrets, White Lies — Dana Reed

Dark Secrets; White Lies is a riveting thriller that combines a turbulent romance between two head strong individuals and the very real threat of a maniacal stalker. All acted out in an aging mansion possessed by specters from its dark past, a mansion that seems to have a mind and soul of its own.

Victoria Richards is the sole occupant of Hill House--a mansion located in an isolated area--who constantly complains of the presence of a stalker who is threatening to kill her. Her niece, Callie Rose Porter, fears for her aunt's sanity until she visits the House and discovers two mutilated corpses and her aunt missing. Aided by Tony Reyes, an ex-detective from the N.Y.P.D., a man with a dark, mysterious past, Callie must find her missing aunt and discover the identity of the stalker before becoming a victim herself. As the body count mounts, Callie perseveres, while holding onto secrets she harbors regarding her own past, and the many relatives who perished in Hill House against their will...
