About this book
A skeptical seventeen-year-old Stephanie is convinced there's a logical explanation for everything happening in her family's creepy Victorian mansion—until a charming paranormal enthusiast and a mysterious British boy who keeps appearing in her dreams make her question everything she thought she knew. As supernatural events escalate and the line between dream and reality blurs, Stephanie finds herself caught between two compelling boys and a mystery that refuses to stay buried. With her little sister insisting something sinister lurks in the shadows and rumors swirling about the mansion's dark past, Stephanie discovers that some secrets are worth believing in. This atmospheric, swoon-worthy story perfectly blends gothic romance with genuine chills that'll keep you turning pages late into the night.

Gothic indie and darkwave with ethereal undertones—dream-like and haunting. Think Florence + The Machine meets Purity Ring, with moody alt-rock and atmospheric synth-pop. Mysterious, romantic tension wrapped in supernatural unease. For when reality bends and dreams feel dangerously real.
