Description
FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER for fans of Stephenie Meyer’s TWILIGHT SAGA.
Life after her high school graduation sucks for Mads Bland. Her foster mother dies, her boyfriend breaks up with her, and she can't afford community college, leaving her stuck in the same routine.
But when a mysterious invitation to Usher House arrives at her door, everything changes. Mads soon learns that her real name is Madeleine Usher, and that she has inherited the crumbling mansion in remote Georgia.
What's more, she discovers that she has a twin brother, the quick-witted and devil-may-care Roderick Usher. At first, things seem excellent. Mads meets the beautiful Liam Delaney, who operates his father's farm down the road, she inherits the remainder of the Usher fortune, and she now has a sprawling home of her own.
What Mads doesn’t know is that she's a pawn in a deadly game. When she’s confined in the manor against her will, she must battle against the inherited insanity that every Usher family member eventually succumbs to.
Can Mads overcome her family’s dark legacy and survive the madness of Usher House?
