Kate Undone: Harrow House Secrets Book 1Arden turned the crystal knob and with a gentle creak the door swung open.Kate stood for a moment frozen until Arden pulled her inside the nearly pitch black space. She could feel Arden groping along the wall with one hand, searching desperately for the light switch. The stench of cigarette smoke hung so heavily in the air and began filling her throat. Kate pulled her cardigan over her face trying to suppress the gagging as she choked on the thick air. Every time she moved something crackled under her weight. Finally, Arden found the button and with a pop, two vintage crystal sconces dimly illuminated a small foyer. Kate could now see the source of the crackling; large portions of plaster were knocked from the walls and littered the expanse of the floor.
Arden was still tightly clutching Kate's arm and pulling her tentative body along. She hit the light in the next room. "Holy shit." Kate wasn't sure if she said it in her head or aloud. A chaotic web of black handwriting trickled over an entire living room wall. Beneath it sat what she thought was probably a sofa, yet the sheer amount of trash and debris that covered it made its shape unrecognizable. In the middle of the floor, a pile of stained and blankets formed a make-shift bed, and Kate began to wonder if there was a body buried beneath its layers. Kate Monroe had the perfect life; handsome politician fiancé, fantastic apartment, and her dream job.
