This book is about a man named Colin (calls himself Clover) who is basically a serial killer. He has this messed up idea of a "perfect family". He has four girls; Rose, Poppy, Violet, and Lily. These are girls he finds walking alone who he thinks are pure and perfect. He kills prostitutes because he believes they are whores who ruin families just like they ruined his family as a child.
When he kidnaps Summer (Lily), he's taking a risk because she actually has a family who cares unlike the rest of the girls. Lily has to learn the new routine, learn what makes Clover tick, how to survive in that cellar. Throughout this entire time, her boyfriend Lewis is desperately trying to find his love Summer. Lily learns to rely on the other three girls to live, and in the end, they really do become a family. You would like this book if you like books about murder and suspense. If you cant handle or do not like reading about how people are killed or what happens to people, this is not a book for you.
