Fifteen years ago, Claire Harper fled her childhood home, determined never to return. The house had been a place of secrets, whispers, and tragedies-most notably, the mysterious death of her best friend, Sarah, found cold and lifeless in the basement. Claire left everything behind, including her fractured relationship with her sister, Julia. But when Julia goes missing without a trace, Claire has no choice but to return to the decaying house she swore she'd never see again. The police have no answers, but cryptic messages on her phone suggest someone knows more about Julia's disappearance-and about what really happened all those years ago. As Claire digs deeper, old memories resurface: the strange noises in the house, the feeling of being watched, and the creeping sense that something malevolent has always lurked within its walls. With each step closer to the truth, Claire realizes that the line between memory and madness is dangerously thin-and the answers she seeks might just shatter everything she thought she knew about her family, her past, and herself. In this gripping psychological thriller, Whispers in the Dark explores the dark recesses of the mind and the haunting power of buried secrets. Some truths are better left forgotten... but what if they're the only thing that can save you?

*A sequel to The Palmer Pool* Vanessa Brooks, now a high-school senior, hopes to put her time-traveling days behind her, until an opportunity arises to return the favor of a fellow time-traveler stuck in the past. ****** As Vanessa Brooks begins her senior year of high school, she hopes that the routine of life as usual will distract her from her memories of Pete, the boy she fell for and left behind in 1953. Now painfully aware of the risks of traveling to the past, she considers her time-traveling days over, even though she still longs to reunite with Pete. But with Eric Anderson, the only person who knows the truth about where Vanessa disappeared to all summer, keeping an uncomfortably close watch on her, along with her suspicious family and friends, she knows the only place she'll ever see Pete again is in her vivid dreams. When Vanessa accidentally travels from a 1920s themed Halloween party at a local historic mansion to an eerily similar party in the actual 1920s, she reconnects with a fellow time-traveler who needs her help. Vanessa discovers her ability to affect time is even stronger than she thought, and so is her determination to fight for what- and who- she wants.

Being a genius isn't hard. Or at least, not for Veronica Boniadi. Numbers and words, science and history - knowing it all is like breathing for Veronica. Though it's a breath she's been holding in from the rest of the world. To her classmates she's a burnout loser with no friends. To her struggling family she's the only one able to help them get through the day. Throughout all of high school, Veronica's genius is never really shown. That is, until the school's principal feels the need to pair her up with a tutor. Jay, the top student in senior year - haughty and arrogant, and everything Veronica despises - is given the task of making sure Veronica doesn't fail the midterms and sink the school's overall score below the national average. Forced to do actual school work for the first time in her life, Veronica tries to downplay her intellect as much as possible. She doesn't want the attention, the distraction, or any responsibility that might take her away from supporting her sick family. But fooling Jay turns out to be much harder than she thought.
