This book tells the story of a family that decides to move into an old house, unaware of the haunting that awaits them. Little do they know, the spirit of a young boy lingers within the house's walls. While the parents dismiss Austin's claims about the haunting, his younger sister, Kat, believes him. As they navigate their new home, the family becomes increasingly entangled in eerie and supernatural events.
The presence of the ghostly young boy grows stronger with each passing day. Objects mysteriously move, strange sounds echo through the corridors, and chilling whispers fill the air. Austin's pleas for caution go unheeded by his skeptical parents, but Kat stands by her brother's side, convinced that they are in real danger.
As the haunting intensifies, the family's safety hangs in the balance. Will they find a way to survive the terrifying encounters with the vengeful spirit, or will they fall victim to the dark forces that inhabit the house? Their fate rests on unraveling the mysteries of the haunted dwelling and uncovering a way to appease the restless soul within.

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER!
