Publisher Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling author “definitely knows how to jangle readers’ nerves” in this chilling novel of romantic suspense (Booklist).
Home
Along the shores of Oregon’s wild Columbia River, the Victorian mansion where Sarah McAdams grew up is as foreboding as she remembers. The moment she and her two daughters, Jade and Gracie, pull up the isolated drive, Sarah is beset by uneasy memories—of her cold, distant mother, of the half-sister who vanished without a trace, and of a long-ago night when Sarah was found on the widow’s walk, feverish and delirious.
Is Where
But Sarah has vowed to make a fresh start and renovate the old place. Between tending to her girls and the rundown property, she has little time to dwell on the past . . . Until a new, more urgent menace enters the picture.
The Fear Is
One by one, teenage girls are disappearing. Frantic for her daughters’ safety, Sarah feels the house’s walls closing in on her again. Somewhere deep in her memory is the key to a very real and terrifying danger. And only by confronting her most terrifying fears can she stop the nightmare roaring back to life once more . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A haunted house provides the stage for this exciting novel of romantic suspense from bestseller Jackson (You Don't Want to Know). Following her divorce, Sarah McAdams decides to makes a fresh start by moving back to her abandoned childhood home, a dilapidated, century-old mansion named Blue Peacock Manor on Oregon's Columbia River. Sarah's 17-year-old daughter, Jade, is angry with her mother for forcing her to move away from her friends and boyfriend in Vancouver, Wash., while her 12-year-old daughter, Gracie, insists that ghosts inhabit the manor. When young girls in a nearby town mysteriously vanish, Sarah fears for her own daughters' safety. Despite Jade's constant rebellion, Sarah remains determined to unearth the truth behind the disappearance of one of the manor's former occupants as well as the disappearance of her own sister. Clint, an old flame from whom Sarah hid some important secrets years ago, adds romantic spice.
