Genevieve Freeman is sixteen, skeptical, and grounded in reality. But when her younger brother Charlie begins whispering messages from a ghost known only as “The Bad Man,” her summer takes a terrifying turn.

Genevieve Freeman's new house in Pennsylvania is ancient, creepy, and definitely haunted. Her little brother talks to ghosts. Her crush Aidan is obsessed with the supernatural. And something dark is lurking. It’s angry, vengeful, and ready to claim them all. To save her family, Genevieve must team up with Aidan and a tattooed teen ghost-hunter named Lilly. But facing the past means risking everything because this haunting is personal, and the portal between worlds is wide open. A chilling, heartfelt coming-of-age ghost story about love, loss, and the courage to face what haunts us.
