Publisher's Summary

The dead have stories to tell. Are you listening?

On a sunny August morning, in 1935, 13-year-old Sophia Gray finds her friend Rosemary wandering in the woods. Rosemary’s yellow dress is tattered and stained, she walks with a strange lurch, and her eyes are vacant and glassy. She beckons to Sophia, desperate to show her something, and Sophia follows. 

In an abandoned cabin, beneath a tattered blanket, Sophia discovers Rosemary’s body. It was not Rosemary who led her there, but Rosemary’s ghost. 

Step into the Northern Michigan Asylum for the Insane

Twenty years after Sophia discovers Rosemary’s body, she finds herself trapped in the sprawling, and eerily beautiful, Northern Michigan Asylum for the Insane, in the hands of a malevolent doctor who preys on patients who exhibit paranormal abilities. 

Sometimes the dead don’t rest

In 1965, Hattie, much like her mother, 30 years before, is led by a ghost. A newspaper hidden in an attic reveals a secret that has shaped the lives of Hattie and her siblings. Hattie with her sister, Jude, embark on a crusade to remedy the wrongs of the past and discover the tale of deception that stole their mother a decade before. 

Hattie and Jude are in a race against time to discover a murderer and save their mother from a horrific fate. 

Get lost in a uniquely chilling story that spans the life of a family and the ghosts who haunt them.

not bad

It wasn't a bad little story. Not particularly spooky or suspenseful, and way more romantic than I expected, but the story was interesting enough that it was still enjoyable.
The characters were a little flat (the sisters definitely embodied the virgin/w**** dichotomy, and while they were both sympathetic, it is still a bit disappointing, you know? ) and the romance side plot made me cringe. It isn't a spoiler to say that he has a one night stand with one, and falls in love with the other. You can guess which... ugh. Upside, the conclusion of that plot was way better than it could have been.
The narration was generally good, but she makes a number of really grating mispronunciations that I found distracting.
But yeah, I realized that I sound like I'm dam*ing with faint praise, but it actually was a nice, light, entertaining story.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
