That's what Hendricks Becker-O'Malley's parents said when they moved their family to the tiny town of Drearfield, New York. Hendricks wants to lay low and forget her dark, traumatic past. Forget him. But things don't go as planned. Hendricks learns from new friends at school that Steele House--the fixer upper her parents are so excited about--is notorious in town. Local legend says it's haunted. But Hendricks isn't sure if it's the demons of her past haunting her ...or of the present. Voices whisper in her ear as she lays in bed. Doors lock on their own. And, then, one night, things take a violent turn. With help from the mysterious boy next door, Hendricks makes it her mission to take down the ghosts . . . if they don't take her first.

"It was the first YA book that I couldn’t read alone at night. Not so much at the beginning, but it kept getting more creepy as the story progressed. "

"I genuinely liked this book, it gave a great start and back story for the series it did leave a sense of wonder at the end though. Luckily the second book is out so you don't have to wait. "

"I think this was a good way for me to start reading more horror books. I liked how the story handled her experiences. Her friends were annoying though lol. "

"It fell a little flat to me and there were too many loose ends. The side characters kind of faded towards the ending of the book and it wouldve been all the same if they were just never in it"

"I couldn’t finish this book, because the protagonist is kinda delusional. She explains how she sees and hears ghosts among the corridors, and maybe other things. I definitely don’t want to continue this, in fear of my own brain processing the details of this book way too far. I can maybe try it at a different time, but yeah just a warning… by page 82, the protagonist sounds more of a manic."
