There were kind of two main things going on that should have been really interesting, but weren't. The author took a cool premise and an even cooler setting and then wrote a really boring book. Narration aside though, this book had some problems. Her Southern accent was pretty terrible, but thankfully, she kept forgetting to use it. I listened to this book, and the narrator didn't really do it any favors. One night, she witnesses a man in a black coat magically abducting a child, which changes everything. Serafina's presence in the house is a secret so she mostly traverses the estate through tunnels and doesn't go outside. She and her Pa secretly live in the basement, where he is basically the electrical engineer of the place. Serafina is the Chief Rat Catcher at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC in 1899.
