She claimed her father's cursed mansion...where the ghosts within the walls have long been waiting for her. When Brandy Holloway inherits a sprawling country mansion from the father she never knew, she expects secrets, not literal skeletons in the closets. The gothic estate has all the comforts of the "Psycho" house and all the charm of "The Addams Family" home. The young maid swears it's haunted, and the handsome, mysterious butler hides secrets of his own. After Brandy invites her friends for a weekend escape, the fun turns deadly when, one by one, they vanish into the house's endless depths. Trapped in a ghostly home that hungers for souls, Brandy must team up with her eccentric butler to uncover the mansion's bloodstained secrets before she becomes its prisoner...forever. Nature of the Beast is a supernatural, horror-thriller containing scenes of violence, moderate foul language, and mild sexual situations. Holly Copella books do not contain graphic sex scenes.
