[Book 1 in the LIMINAL series] Seventeen-year-old Norman Rhodes is desperate for a fresh start. Escaping a traumatic past with his father, Norman and his mother move into a new town, buying the only house they can afford: a creepy, isolated Victorian at the very dead end of a cul-de-sac.
The locals call it the "Murder House," and the kids at school make Norman's life a living hell for living there.
Isolated, bullied, and terrified, Norman's sanctuary at home isn't safe either. His mother's demanding new job as a priest leaves him entirely alone in the dark-and the dark is exactly where he lives.
Noctivae.
A vengeful, terrifying, and dangerously beautiful spirit trapped within the walls. At first, Noctivae makes it his life's mission to torment Norman, driving him to the brink of panic. But when a cruel, bloody prank at school leaves Norman broken and ready to end it all, something shifts.
The ghost takes pity. And then, the ghost takes action.
Suddenly, Norman isn't alone anymore. Whenever the bullies come near him, violent "accidents" happen.
What starts as terror spirals into an all-consuming, toxic obsession. Noctivae is fiercely possessive, and when Norman's past comes knocking at the front door to take him back, Noctivae decides he will cross the line between the living and the dead to protect what is his.
Norman is falling in love with a monster. But how do you save a ghost when your own mother is a priest sworn to destroy him?
