"A shimmering supernatural thriller that interrogates the world of fashion through a sharp, critical eye . . . I couldn't put it down."--Sarah Rose Etter, author of RIPE and The Book of X Fashion-obsessed Samara finally has the life she's always dreamed of: A high-powered job with legendary designer Antonio Mota. A new home in sunny California, far away from those drab Jersey winters. And an intriguing love interest, Brandon, a wealthy investor in Mota's fashion line. But it's not long before Samara's dream life begins to turn into a living nightmare as Mota's big fashion show approaches and the pressure on her turns crushing. Perhaps that's why she begins hearing voices in her room at night--and seeing strange things that can't be explained away by stress or anxiety or the number of drinks she's been consuming. And it may not be just Samara imagining things as her psyche unravels, because she soon discovers hints that her new city--and the House of Mota--may be built on a foundation of secrets and lies. Now Samara must uncover what hideous truths lurk in the shadows of this illusory world of glamour and beauty before those shadows claim her.
