The Mercer's House (Northern Gothic Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
To start with, she arrived home to find a letter from the bank saying she was overdrawn. She hadn’t opened her bank statements in months, and when she forced herself finally to sit down and look at her finances, she discovered she’d been spending money much faster than she thought. Her father had left her some money that he had meant her to use as a deposit on a flat, but since she’d lost her job she’d had to use it for living expenses instead. The trip to Elsbury hadn’t been cheap, and here was yet another reason why it had been a mistake. If she didn’t find another job soon, she’d be in big trouble. In addition, there was a notice from her landlord to say that he was putting the rent up from November—one more financial blow she didn’t need. Then there was a sarcastic note from her flatmate, complaining about the mess Zanna had left when she went away. And on top of all that, London was gloomy and grey and rainy, which, after the heatwave of last week, when it had been warm enough to swim in the sea, came as a shock to the system and depressed her mood even further.The next few days were spent calling contacts and speaking to people about teaching jobs, although there didn’t seem to be much about.
