Summary

The Conjuring meets Sadie in this queer ghost story, when 17-year-old podcaster Dare finds herself in a life-or-death struggle against an evil spirit.

Dare Chase doesn’t believe in ghosts. But as the host of Attachments, her brand-new paranormal investigation podcast, she knows to keep her doubts to herself if she wants to win over listeners.

Her first season’s subject is the Arrington Estate - a sprawling manor rumored to be haunted by the spirit of Atheleen Bell, who drowned in its lake almost 30 years ago. Dare’s more interested in investigating the suspicious circumstances of Atheleen’s death, which she thinks point to a decades-old murder, not something supernatural.

But Arrington is full of surprises. As Dare is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the estate, she’ll have to rethink the boundaries of what is possible. Because if something is lurking in the lake…it might not be willing to let her go.

Critic reviews

“Nancy Drew meets Ghost Hunters in this queer thriller. An utterly addictive ghost story.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Based on the real-life haunted house in the author’s family, this beautiful ghost story was impossible to put down. I felt like I had opened a doorway into an eerie, layered story that might not let me leave - and I loved it! One of Sarah Glenn Marsh’s most captivating novels yet!" (Shea Ernshaw, New York Times best-selling author of Winterwood)

“Sarah Glenn Marsh establishes a chillingly gothic atmosphere, where house and lake are as much characters as the living and the dead...[but] the three clever girls at the center of this unsettling narrative steal the show.” (Publisher's Weekly)

Good start, bad ending.

I like idea, but does get lost somewhat as it goes on.

The romance works for the most part, also who doesn't want Sapphic ghost hunters.

Enjoyable but predictable ghost story

It's an engaging tale with a likeable protagonist but suffers from a predictable plot and unsatisfying climax.
