In the wake of her mother’s suicide, Ingrid is desperate for a path back to a normal family, friends, high school, and some hope that she won’t follow in her mother’s footsteps. Instead, she finds herself moving to a strange town where quaint charm shrouds a mysterious past. When she starts hearing voices, she enlists the help of an amateur ghost hunter and a popular, troubled scion to figure out if she’s hallucinating or being haunted. Their investigations awaken the past, and they discover a darkness at the heart of the town and its most powerful family.
This was a wonderful ghost story from a new author. Like many of my favorite books it has a wonderfully dry and witty beginning. From there it takes the reader on a totally unpredictable ride through a young woman's struggle to come to terms with her mother's suicide, teen romance, a mystery, and various ghosts and characters in a quaint little New England town that is not what it seems. This book far exceeded my expectations and I find myself eagerly awaiting the author's next book!
