Shadows Between Us

Evie Thorn thought buying her first home would be a fresh start-a quiet little fixer-upper where she could finally breathe. But from the moment she moves in, something stirs in the walls. Lights flicker without cause. Music she hasn't played in years drifts through the rooms. And at night, a towering figure made of shadows stands in her hallway, whispering her name from just inches behind her ear.

Desperate for answers, Evie turns to the only people she trusts: her two closest friends, Jules Marrow-steady, compassionate, endlessly patient-and Mara Ellison, the elusive friend who drifts in and out of their lives like smoke. But Mara is hiding a dangerous secret: she can see the things that haunt houses, cling to people, and feed on fear. She's spent years cleansing other homes, battling spirits that twist reality and prey on human frailty. And the one attached to Evie isn't just another restless ghost.

It's something older. Something hungrier. Something that knows Mara.

As Evie's haunting escalates-turning violent, invasive, deeply personal-the three friends are pulled into a nightmare that blurs the line between the living and the dead. Mara's abilities come at a steep cost: every cleansing drains her life, her sanity, and the thin barrier that protects her from the entities she fights. Now, the creature stalking Evie is using their friendships like threads, weaving itself tighter into their lives.

Secrets unravel. Loyalties fracture. And the truth becomes clear:

This spirit doesn't just want Evie's home.
It wants Evie.
And it will destroy anyone who tries to stand between them.

As shadows move closer and old wounds bleed into the present, Evie, Jules, and Mara must confront the horror none of them are prepared for-the terrifying realization that the bond between friends can be strengthened... or severed... by the things that lurk in the dark.
