Paige Duran thought last Halloween was over. Someone else remembers it differently.
A year ago, Paige, Marcus, and Renee crossed a line inside Whitner House and agreed never to talk about what happened next.
Now October is back.
And black cards are appearing where they should not be.
In a locker.
Inside a backpack.
Even at home.
GO BACK TO THE HOUSE.
Each message knows something private. Something connected to that night. Something only the three friends should understand.
As Halloween gets closer, Paige realizes the cards are not random, and whoever is sending them is leading the three friends back toward Whitner House.
But this time, someone is waiting for them to remember.
A spooky middle-grade Halloween mystery filled with secrets, friendship, old-house suspense, and fair-play clues.
The House That Dared Them Back is a standalone Fall Shadows Mystery for readers who enjoy creepy mysteries, Halloween suspense, and scary stories that are eerie without being gory.
