[Blunt House 01] • Pins and Needles

Sometimes, a girl just needs the right doll .

For Alice Blunt, it’s hard enough being the new kid in town without the torture of her brother, a mother who’s too busy with her new job to pay attention and a cousin and Aunt who make family seem like a dirty word.

Things don’t show any signs of improvement until Alice encounters something special in the attic of Blunt House. Nestled within a box alongside sharp, shiny pins, the aged doll awakens a new world for Alice, one in which she has a new ally, control, and power.

And it’s payback time.

Dark secrets and family history trap Alice in a downward spiral of pain and revenge. Her struggle to make peace with herself may come too late. To go back. To change her mind.

Too late to understand the doll is angry, and when the doll is angry, the choices in front of Alice may no longer be hers alone to make.
