Publisher Description
A haunted house, a buried mystery, and a very angry ghost make this one unforgettable thriller.Jade loves the house she's just moved into with her family. She doesn't even mind being the new girl at the high school: It's a fresh start, and there's that one guy with the dreamy blue eyes. . . . But then things begin happening. Strange, otherworldly things. Jade's little brother claims to see a glimmering girl in his room. Jade's jewelry gets moved around, as if by an invisible hand. Kids at school whisper behind her back like they know something she doesn't. Soon, Jade must face an impossible fact: that her perfect house . . . is haunted. Haunted by a ghost who's seeking not just vengeance, but the truth. The ghost of a girl who ruled Jade's school -- until her untimely death last year. It's up to Jade to put the pieces together before her own life is at stake. As Jade investigates the mystery, she discovers that her new friends in town have more than a few deep, dark secrets. But is one of them a murderer?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Having moved from rural western Massachusetts to an upscale Boston suburb, 17-year-old Jade Kelley thinks her biggest problems will be making new friends and putting up with her stepmother. She didn't count on being haunted by the ghost of Kayla, the popular mean girl who died in Jade's new house under suspicious circumstances earlier in the year (that's why the house was a steal). Jade ends up in the middle of a romantic triangle with two boys tied to the dead teen, but the real race is to figure out what really happened to Kayla before the impatient and vengeful ghost takes out her anger on Jade's family. As she did in Clarity and Perception, Harrington continues to demonstrate her gift for threading paranormal elements into thrilling mysteries haunted old estates are a dime a dozen, but there's something especially creepy about ghosts lingering in suburban cul-de-sacs and McMansions. Harrington's crisp prose, humor, and fluid storytelling serve the mystery well, and coded diary entries from the deceased Kayla let readers play detective along with Jade. Ages 12 up.
Customer Reviews
probably one of my favorite books ever!!!
dude. I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH! everything; from the characters to the plot twist, was amazingly executed. just when i thought i had figured everything out, the book had proven me wrong. honestly, i really hope this gets turned into a tv series or a movie! if you like mystery, horror, and a bit of romance, i promise you this won’t disappoint <3
SO FREAKING GOOD
I love, love, LOVEEEE this book and I purchased this book at around 10:45 PM and I finished it at around 12 AM and honestly I didn’t want to go to sleep because I wanted to read this book. I honestly really didn’t expect the ending and I loved the ending and I loved how the author chose the person. I wish there would be a movie made from this. This book honestly gave me chills and not a lot of books do that. I wish there was a series of books about more murder mysteries involving Jade and her crew. I strongly recommend this book to people who stays up late and has nothing to do. If you read it, you won’t stop until you finish. It’s that good. I really enjoyed this book a lot!
