In this spine-tingling YA psychological thriller, Tiffany D. Jackson weaves a chilling tale that blends elements of The Haunting of Hill House and Get Out, delivering a modern take on the classic haunted house story.

Marigold, a young woman haunted by the ghosts of her past, embarks on a fresh start with her newly blended family when they relocate from their idyllic California beach town to the enigmatic Midwestern city of Cedarville. Her mother has secured a new job with the Sterling Foundation, which comes with a free house—a prospect that Mari eagerly embraces, hoping it will provide the much-needed respite from her haunting memories.

However, as Marigold and her stepsister Piper settle into their renovated picture-perfect home on Maple Street, nestled between dilapidated houses and surrounded by wary neighbors, they begin to realize that the house holds secrets of its own. Strange occurrences begin to unfold, including the vanishing of household items, the mysterious opening of doors, the eerie flickering of lights, the unsettling presence of shadows that seem to stalk the rooms, and the eerie whispers that echo through the walls.

Mari, who seems to be the only one who notices these peculiar happenings, begins to suspect that there is more to the house's haunting than meets the eye. As the house closes in on them, Marigold learns that the danger extends beyond Maple Street. Cedarville harbors its own dark secrets, waiting to be uncovered.

As Marigold delves deeper into the town's mysteries, she uncovers a web of lies and deceit that threatens to engulf her and those she cares about. The lines between reality and illusion blur, and Marigold must navigate a treacherous path to uncover the truth before it's too late.

This gripping YA psychological thriller will keep readers on the edge of their seats, as they unravel the chilling secrets of Maple Street and Cedarville. With its atmospheric writing, compelling characters, and suspenseful plot, it is a must-read for fans of horror, mystery, and psychological thrillers.
