Publisher Description

“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.

Loudly Crying Face“Such a heartbreaking story of girls who were neither good or bad people. They were human beings making choices out of fear and trauma. I really loved how the story bounced from being told in real time to also bring to light all the horrible things that happened 10-12 years into the future. I will say this ALL of them needed/need therapy and I was so happy to see Daisy thriving in the end and Ivy and Grace and every other girl that Peter hurt get the recognition their pain deserved. Such an amazing story with unforgettable characters.”
Surprised Face with Open Mouth“This was absolutely amazing! It's a little slow at first but once it gets going it takes off! I literally didn't want to put this down. The drama, the banter, the characters made this read everything! Very relatable and even though this is YA, an adult would truly enjoy this. Daisy is truly an amazing character especially for her age. I needed this read. May not be everyone’s cup of tea but if you like ghost stories & hauntings, then this is for you. I’m truly becoming a fan of Liselle Sambury!”
“hello yes? i would like more this pls”
“DNF @ 80% as i just could not with the main character. The alternative, future viewpoint started out great but basically disappeared after the first third leaving me stuck with just the FMC's perspective. I just didn't care enough to find out what happens at the end.”
