In the book The Dead Girls of Hysteria Hall by Katie Alender the main character is Cordelia Piven. She was named after aunt that recently passed away. Her aunt Cordelia passed away and left her house or more like a mansion. According to page 7 Cordelia' sister Janie states, " She died and left it to Delia. It's so unfair. She didn't leave me anything." The "house" was a mental hospital. Cordelia doesn't want to stay in the house because she does not want anything bad to happen to her. They say the place is haunted, "We couldn't even see it online," I said. " The satellite image was all cloudy."(7) Cordelia changes throughout the story because she first was really happy to see the house her aunt left her. Throughout the story she became more cautious of her surroundings and what happened in her house. She went back to see the letters that her aunt wrote to her and see if there was anything strange about them. "I still have her letters. And I'm not being melodramatic. Did she leave a note?"(14)
