About this ebook

She sees dead people—and they see her.

Chloe Saunders used to have a pretty normal life. But that changed on the day she met her first ghost. Locked up in Lyle House, a group home for troubled teens, she finds out there’s more to the home’s teen residents than meets the eye.

Will Chloe be able to uncover the dangerous secrets of Lyle House…or will its skeletons come back to haunt her?

Supernatural Love Triangle: Chloe Saunders' heart is torn between two brothers—a charming sorcerer and a brooding werewolf—in this bestselling horror-romance trilogy.
Slow Burn: From thrilling moments of forced proximity to tender hurt/comfort scenes, the will-they-or-won't-they tension between Chloe and her love interests could make even a zombie's heart race.

don't get me wrong this book series is great but if you don't like unfinished stories don't bother reading this series I know I left a similar review on the last one but I figured I'd write this one on the first book so that more people see this if the ending you gave at the end was the true ending that's not a true ending for a lot of people you don't just leave it hanging like that

I honestly cannot say how many times I've read this book. Physically or digitally. I love everything about it. That includes the series. The 2nd, being my favorite. To be honest. I've read them so many times just so I could read the second one. It's that good!

About the author

When librarians finally granted Kelley Armstrong an adult card, she made straight for the epic fantasy and horror shelves. She spent the rest of her childhood and teen years happily roaming fantastical and terrible worlds, and vowed that someday she'd write a story combining swords, sorcery, and the ravenous undead. 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.
