From the author of NY Times bestselling Dark and Shallow Lies comes
a darkly atmospheric paranormal thriller, dripping with secrets and
mystery. Seventeen-year-old Avril doesn't believe in ghosts, but
she knows there are lots of different ways for places and people to
be haunted. Twelve years ago her mother drowned at Whisper Cove.
Local legend claims that the women in the waves - the ghosts from
an old whaling village - called her mother into the ocean with
their whispering. Because, as they say at Whisper Cove, what the
sea wants, the sea will have. Avril has spent the past twelve years
trying to make sense of the strange bits and pieces she does
remember from the night she lost her mother. Stars falling into the
sea. A blinding light. The odd sensation of flying. Now, at
seventeen, Avril is returning to Whisper Cove for the first time as
part of a summer theatre camp, and she hopes she might finally
discover what really happened to her mother. As Avril becomes more
involved with camp director Willa and her mysterious son Cole,
Whisper Cove reveals itself to her. Distances seem to shift in the
strange fog. Echos of long-past moments bounce off the marsh. And
Avril keeps meeting herself - and her dead mother - late at night,
at the edge of the ocean. The truth Avril seeks is ready to be
discovered. But it will come at a terrible cost . . .

psychological thriller and modern take on the classic haunted house
story from New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson!
Marigold is running from ghosts. The phantoms of her old life keep
haunting her, but a move with her newly blended family from their
small California beach town to the embattled Midwestern city of
Cedarville might be the fresh start she needs. Her mom has accepted
a new job with the Sterling Foundation that comes with a free
house, one that Mari now has to share with her bratty ten-year-old
stepsister, Piper. The renovated picture-perfect home on Maple
Street, sitting between dilapidated houses, surrounded by wary
neighbors has its . . . secrets. That's only half the problem:
household items vanish, doors open on their own, lights turn off,
shadows walk past rooms, voices can be heard in the walls, and
there's a foul smell seeping through the vents only Mari seems to
notice. Worse: Piper keeps talking about a friend who wants Mari
gone. But "running from ghosts" is just a metaphor, right? As the
house closes in, Mari learns that the danger isn't limited to Maple
Street. Cedarville has its secrets, too. And secrets always find
their way through the cracks. * An Amazon Best Book of the Month *
