The Ruining by Anna Collomore
Publisher: Razorbill
Release Date: February 7, 2013
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. (From Goodreads)
This sounds like a really good psychological thriller, I love those. I can read them in just one day because of how intense they can get. Really like the cover too, it’s kind of creepy.

This does sound like a creepy story. The cover looks kind of menacing. Good pick!

I think I saw this one on NetGalley. It sounds intriguing. I refrained from requesting because I have sooooo many still to read first. Nice pick for this wekk.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for this one! Sounds so good and creepy and very "Turn of the Screw". Great pick!
