"When fourteen-year-old Irene Sauvelle moves with her family to Cape House on the coast of Normandy, she's immediately taken by the beauty of the place--its expansive cliffs, coasts, and harbors. There, she meets a local boy named Ishmael, and the two soon fall in love. But a dark mystery is about to unfold, involving a reclusive toymaker who lives in a gigantic mansion filled with mechanical beings and shadows of the past"--

Review of 'The watcher in the shadows' on 'Goodreads'

I've just read this book in three days. Well three lunch times really. I didn't know it was "ya" when I bought it. It's a fantastic read, proper well thought out, creepy horror. With a bitter sweet, touching finale. Well worth a read, but not in the dark if you are of a nervous disposition.
