In The Fourth House, the light only reveals what the dark wants you to see.
A village's disturbing past. A dilapidated mansion shrouded in shadows. Whispers of a ghost story long forgotten-until an eerily familiar woman arrives, reigniting its sinister legacy in a tale hailed as Suspenseful . . . Impressively well crafted . . . Genuinely creepy-and unpredictable, to boot. -Kirkus Reviews
Sunny Johnson has it all: a fulfilling career teaching abnormal psychology, a devoted psychiatrist husband, and the joy of new motherhood. But horrifying visions within a crumbling mansion by water, dismissed as peripartum psychosis, shatter her reality. When Taylor threatens to take their newborn daughter, Rebecca, from her, Sunny flees with the child to a distant riverside village, searching for refuge and answers.
There, she finds Searchlight, a decaying former funeral home turned bed and breakfast that feels pulled from her fragmented memories. Its dank halls murmur secrets of a tragic past, ghostly legends the locals won't speak of, and dusty diaries filled with entries seem to echo her own unraveling.
But Sunny doesn't believe in apparitions or past lives, yet she can't shake the feeling she's been there before. Every flicker of clarity pulls her deeper into the shadows of her mind-and closer to deadly truths that could sever her bond with Rebecca, the fragile thread anchoring her to reality . . . if Taylor doesn't find them first.
In Searchlight, the line between the real and the imagined is as thin as a candle's flame-and what binds Sunny to its past may be the most dangerous ghost of all.
