Atmospheric and sweepingly romantic, this gothic mystery tells the story of a girl poised to inherit a famously
haunted California mansion and a stranger who arrives with a dark warning... For over a century, the Blackwells
have protected the town of Hollow Cliff from vengeful spirits. Seventeen-year-old Nev is ready to take over
for her ailing grandmother as the town's witch protector—unlike her mother, who left when Nev was a child
and never looked back. When a stranger arrives at Blackwell House of Spirits to fill a tour guide opening,
Nev reluctantly offers him the job. Nev doesn't trust Cal. He knows more than he's letting on about Blackwell
House—and about Nev herself. But Nev soon learns that she has been lied to her whole life. By following the
trail of clues left behind in Blackwell House by her most powerful witch ancestor, Nev uncovers an unspeakable
legacy of murder and lies...and realizes that a stranger may be the one person she can trust.
