I am not welcome. Somehow I know that. Something doesn't want me here.

Daffodil Franklin has plans for a quiet summer before her freshman year at college, and luckily, she's found the job that can give her just that: housesitting a mansion for a wealthy couple.

But as the summer progresses and shadows lengthen, Daffodil comes to realize the house is more than it appears. The spacious home seems to close in on her, and as she takes the long road into town, she feels eyes on her the entire way, and something tugging her back.

What Daffodil doesn't yet realize is that her job comes with a steep price. The house has a long-ago grudge it needs to settle . . . and Daffodil is the key to settling it.

• Haunted House: Daffodil's summer job is in a sprawling mansion that doesn't just have secrets--it has a grudge. And it won't let her leave.
• Unreliable Narrator: As shadows lengthen and the house closes in, Daffodil must question everything, including her own mind. Is something supernatural happening, or is it all in her head?
• Dark Humor: A gripping, atmospheric suspense novel laced with the wry, sarcastic voice of a teen protagonist who is, as she puts it, "wading in dread."
• Shocking Twist Ending: A mind-bending finale that will have readers flipping back to the very first page to see what they missed.
