185 Amazon's short preview of Hadley House by Olivia Lewin - Melanie's suggestion:
- https://www.amazon.com/Hadley-House-O...
- Book's description: "My life has gone to hell in a handbasket. Fired from my dream job in Asteria and days away from eviction, I was officially at rock bottom. My saving grace was the news that my Uncle Felix had passed away, leaving me an inheritance. Unfortunately, it was only a blessing until I saw my inherited A broken down hovel in the middle of a decommissioned graveyard. That's bad enough, right? Of course, it got worse. The place is overrun by men deemed too dangerous for society. An oversized orc. A pixie-demon with an attitude. A partially-feral wolfman. A defective basilisk. And a ghost. Oh, did I mention that I’m terrified of ghosts? The only rational decision was to leave. Sell the house, if anyone would even buy it. Return to Asteria with my head in my hands. That was easier said than done, because the house decided it wasn’t letting me go. Now my only way out is untangling a series of puzzles my uncle left for me. And the worst part of it all? I’m stuck in an infinite time loop, reliving this day over and over. ..."

Kirkus Reviews:
- "Robin and Mercy Garrett and their three children seem oddly distanced from each other when we meet them during a 1959 summer vacation. Robin talks a lot about what everything costs, and Mercy is frequently absent painting the local landscape. Fifteen-year-old Lily is also not around much; deprived of her Baltimore boyfriend, she’s taken up with an older boy who bossy, judgmental older sister Alice is pleased to opine is only using her. Seven-year-old David rejects Robin’s attempts to get him in the water in favor of inventing elaborate storylines for the plastic GIs he’s recast as veterinarians. ..."
