The ghosts in Cassie’s home have always been there. Some drift through the halls. Some stand silently in the corners. Some sit at the edge of her bed.

From the moment she was old enough to understand, Cassie was taught one rule: Never interact. The ghosts will leave on their own.

She never questions it. Until a sleepover with friends, when someone breaks the rule. One spirit finally gets what it’s been waiting for—and it has no intention of letting anyone go.

Eight years later, Cassie returns to her childhood home to confront the evil that tore her family apart. She wants to end its hold on her life, but the spirit feeds on despair—and coming home means facing everything she’s spent years trying to escape.
