Alicia Atkinson thought the nightmare was over.
After months of terrifying encounters with the ghost of Shantel Thompson, Alicia had finally returned home to her family. But when her mother discovers a hidden backpack containing bloodstained clothes and a knife, one horrifying question remains: What really happened while Alicia was gone?
The answer is far more terrifying than anyone could imagine.
As police investigate the brutal death of Anthony Welch-the man connected to Shantel's murder-Alicia begins experiencing missing time, disturbing visions, and memories that may not belong to her. Shantel is still there. But she may not be alone.
Beneath the Atkinson home lies a history buried for generations. Forgotten children. Hidden graves. Stolen identities. And a darkness that has survived by taking names, memories, and lives. As Sarah and Damian desperately fight to protect their daughter, they discover that Shantel Thompson may have been only one piece of a mystery stretching back more than a century.
The deeper they search, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Alicia must learn to separate the voices of the dead from the darkness hiding among them-and somehow hold on to the one identity that matters most: her own.
Old secrets will be uncovered. Lost children will finally have their names restored. And the truth about Shantel will change everything Alicia and her family thought they knew.
Because some spirits want justice.
Some want to be remembered.
And some simply want a body to call their own.
SHANTEL RETURNS continues the supernatural mystery begun in The Ghost of Shantel Thompson, taking Alicia's story deeper into a haunting history of family secrets, forgotten children, possession, revenge, and the terrifying power of a name.
