He doesn’t date.Īddison – best friend of Harlowe and Andy’s twin. Kevin lives on a family farm with his mother, he has an older brother and adores his pet chickens. She’s in love with Addison and is the foster sister of Kevin. Harlowe, the brains of the Squad, is a girl with a tragic past. Harlowe– “cryptography fanatic, mystery freak, beloved nerd”. There’s a mystery about Spindrift House that needs to be solved and the Answer Squad (this book’s Mystery Incorporated equivalent, minus Scooby-Doo and Scooby Snacks) are certain they’re up for the task. It was built some time in the 1800’s and while local legends disagree on many of the details, everyone agrees it was built by someone who wasn’t a local, someone who died soon afterwards by falling from its widow’s walk. On a hillside in Port Mercy, Maine, “A Healthy Place for Families”, you will find Spindrift House. Spindrift House has had a great deal of time to decide what it wants to be, and what it wants to be is unforgiving. Having said that, this is the first Seanan/Mira book I’ve read where I didn’t fall in love at first page and I feel like I’ve somehow failed as a reader. I may have already been sold by the fact that my all time favourite author wrote it but even if I hadn’t, that illustration would have clinched the deal. It’s so delightfully ominous and between the house that should be mine and the promise of tentacled creepiness I was sold. I fell in love with Julie Dillon’s cover illustration at first sight.
