Synopsis
"A spellbinding YA gothic paranormal romance, Grove Hollow blends ’80s nostalgia, haunted secrets, and an aching slow-burn love with a ghost into an immersive, unforgettable coming-of-age tale." —Logan Karlie, New York Times bestselling author of Dream by the Shadows
The year is 1985, and seventeen-year-old Jade Whitney is about to discover that her family holds a dark secret that will change her life forever. Sent to live with her great-aunt Ruth, Jade moves into Blythe House, her family's sprawling, gilded mansion—but picturesque Grove Hollow, New York, is anything but welcoming.
At Jade’s new private school she’s shunned by everyone except the Misfits, the school’s outcasts, who spend their weekends exploring abandoned haunted mansions and listening to The Cure. But Jade’s eye keeps wandering back to Brad, the charming, handsome rugby captain—and the only other kid at school to welcome her.
Everything changes when Jade finds a cursed locket in a derelict estate. The locket is connected to a Victorian ghost named William, who desperately needs Jade’s help, and who Jade feels an undeniable attraction to. The closer they grow, the more urgent it becomes for Jade to decide where her heart truly lies—and if she’s willing to let Will go.
