The residents know me as the noises in the house at night, the creaking on the stairs. I’m the reflection behind them in the glass, the feeling of fear in the cellar. I’m tied—it seems—to this house, this street, this town.

I’m tied to Maggie and Pauline, though I don’t know why. I think it’s because death is coming for one of them, or both.

All I know is that the present and the past are piling up, and I am here to dig. I am looking for the things that are buried.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHECK IT OUT?
With so many love triangles—and doomed ones to boot—out there, it’s hard to find a fresh take on such a tried and true plot. But with a ghostly protagonist, a series of unsolved murders, and the looming threat of tragedy, a new contender may have just appeared.

There’s a strange quality to the cover. On first glance, it seems to simply be the white line drawings and black tree over a color-fade background. But look again, and you see that the tree is in a meadow by a stream and is a photo not a drawing. It’s jarring and yet alluring.

Author Jodi Lynn Anderson is most well-known for her May Bird trilogy and the Peaches series. More recently, she published TIGER LILY, a retelling of Peter Pan as told by Tinkerbell.

[E]vocative settings and soulful protagonists in this modern gothic romance … [T]his tantalizing novel offers a singular perspective on a complicated love triangle and a tragedy. (Publishers Weekly)
