The House of Dead Maids by Clare Dunkle

Tabby is taken from her orphanage and brought to Seldom House to be the maid of a young boy. Seldom House is unusual in that many ghosts haunt it; young maids and masters who have died there. Tabby doesn't understand what they want from her and she thinks they're trying to tell her something. That is until Tabby and the young boy come across the sick workings of Seldom House. After they run away, Tabby reconnects with family and the young boy is taken in with another family.

In the end, the young boy is taken to Wuthering Heights. He will later be the character Heathcliffe in the story of Wuthering Heights.

It was interesting. I have never read Wuthering Heights before, but I know the story line of it. This was an interesting prequel. Definitely a haunting tale, but with a nice ending.
