Evelyn Grayson thought she had left her troubled past behind when she moved away from her childhood home, the infamous Grayson Manor. But when she returns to the eerie Victorian house after strange reports of hauntings emerge, she's drawn back into a nightmare she had long tried to forget. Memories of her brother's mysterious disappearance begin to resurface, along with long-buried psychic abilities she thought she had lost.
Joined by a skeptical detective, a paranormal investigator, and the town priest, Evie must confront the malevolent entity that haunts the manor: The Watcher in the Shadows. Bound to the house by ancient rituals, the entity feeds on fear, trapping the souls of the innocent and corrupt alike within the decaying walls.
As the darkness deepens and the house begins to twist reality, Evie realizes that her own family's dark secrets are at the heart of the haunting. To end the cycle of death, she must unravel the twisted rituals that cursed her brother's soul-and decide if she's willing to sacrifice herself to stop the evil from spreading.
But the shadows are watching, waiting for their next victim. The closer Evie gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes. Some houses are never meant to be entered... and once inside, you might never escape.

The Silent Shadows
In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.Complete
Touch: Saving Ai | ✓
[Vᴏʟᴜᴍᴇ 1 - Cᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇ] Evelyn White was born with a gift - or rather, a curse: the first time she touches someone, she sees when and how that person dies. Meeting new people is sickening. Walking through a crowd is hell. Not to mention that when she opens her big mouth to tell people what's going to happen to them, most treat her like she's crazy - even after she saves their lives. But meddling with the future has consequences, and Death is not all there is to fear. As Evelyn races to find a way to save the new transfer student from being murdered, a voice starts whispering in her ear. Someone or something lurks in the shadows. Watching. Waiting. Trying to get close using mind games and tricks. It knows about her powers. It knows she can change Fate - and it's not alone. ------------------------------------------- This book is written in Australian English and uses British style grammar.
