“A haunted house thriller packed with cryptic mystery, dark humor, and bone-chilling twists.” —Ryan Douglass, New York Times bestselling author of The Taking of Jake Livingston

The Haunting of Hill House meets Sadie in this “genuinely terrifying” (School Library Journal, starred review) psychological thriller following two teen girls navigating the treacherous past of a mysterious mansion ten years apart.

Daisy sees dead people—something impossible to forget in bustling, ghost-packed Toronto. She usually manages to deal with her unwanted ability, but she’s completely unprepared to be dumped by her boyfriend. So when her mother inherits a secluded mansion in northern Ontario where she spent her childhood summers, Daisy jumps at the chance to escape. But the house is nothing like Daisy expects, and she begins to realize that her experience with the supernatural might be no match for her mother’s secrets, nor what lurks within these walls…

A decade later, Brittney is desperate to get out from under the thumb of her abusive mother, a bestselling author who claims her stay at “Miracle Mansion” allowed her to see the error of her ways. But Brittney knows that’s nothing but a sham. She decides the new season of her popular Haunted web series will uncover what happened to a young Black girl in the mansion ten years prior and finally expose her mother’s lies. But as she gets more wrapped up in the investigation, she’ll have to decide: if she can only bring one story to light, which one matters most—Daisy’s or her own?

As Brittney investigates the mansion in the present, Daisy’s story runs parallel in the past, both timelines propelling the girls to face the most dangerous monsters of all: those that hide in plain sight.

What the critics say

"Narrators Sandra Okuboyejo and Angel Pean deliver haunting performances in this young adult thriller. Ten years apart, two young women uncover the secret of a mansion in secluded Ontario. Daisy, whose family originally inherited the mansion, can see spirits. Ten years later, Brittany wants to solve the mystery of who died in the house and write about it in her web series. Though the main characters have stark differences, both narrators use tones that work well for a murky mystery. Okuboyejo and Pean deliver paranormal intrigue that becomes clear over time with exciting reveals."

This novel is beyond good - it's exceptionally written and really suspenseful, both powerful and scary. The use of different times and POVs to tell the story was clever and enticing. The characters are also so well developed; complicated, real, and captivating af, and the narrator's are perfect- I especially liked Britney's narrator. I highly recommend!!

there was really only two options for who the contact could have been, and I am glad that it ended up being the person that I assumed. really solidifying the giving lost black girls a voice as opposed to just making it solely a ghost story.

another wonderful story about mixing Supernatural and reality
