Synopsis

My name is Chloe Saunders and my life will never be the same again. All I wanted was to make friends, meet boys, and keep on being ordinary. I don't even know what that means anymore. It all started on the day that I saw my first ghost—and the ghost saw me. Now there are ghosts everywhere and they won't leave me alone. To top it all off, I somehow got myself locked up in Lyle House, a ""special home"" for troubled teens. Yet the home isn't what it seems. Don't tell anyone, but I think there might be more to my housemates than meets the eye. The question is, whose side are they on? It's up to me to figure out the dangerous secrets behind Lyle House . . . before its skeletons come back to haunt me.

About Kelley Armstrong

That story began with the New York Times bestselling Sea of Shadows and continues with Empire of Night.Armstrong's first works for teens were the New York Times bestselling Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising trilogies. She lives in rural Ontario with her husband, three children, and far too many pets.

4.5 stars This was really good! I originally read this back in 2010 and didn't remember any real details of this series.

Goodreads review by Heather on January 24, 2012

This book was nearly impossible to put down and I have no doubt that the menacing allure of the setting and plot hindered my ability to do so. There were several compelling plot points going on in this chilling tome, but somehow they not only found a way to co-exist, they actually enhanced one anoth......more

Goodreads review by Nicole on June 17, 2021

You know those small appetizers they serve before the main dish? Or sometimes salad (I don't like salad). This book felt exactly like that. Why? Because we only got a small taste and nothing of the juicy stuff. Nada. We are told about things but do we see them? Nope. If there's a first book syndrome......more

Although the story is not a standalone, it really left me with a bone chilling feeling and I truly can't wait for the next book in the series. Chloe's a young girl struggling with her new found power, Lyle House a......more
