Catherine House

Hidden deep in the woods of rural Pennsylvania, Catherine House is a school of higher learning like no other. This crucible of reformist liberal arts study with its experimental curriculum has produced some of the world's best minds. But acceptance comes at a price. Students are required to give the House three years completely removed from the outside world. Among this year's incoming class is Ines Murillo, who at first embraces the school as the closest thing to a home she's ever had. But when tragedy strikes, Ines begins to suspect that the school might be hiding a dangerous agenda within the secretive, tightly knit group of students selected to study its most promising and mysterious curriculum. A gothic-infused debut of literary suspense.
