Following the clues is as deadly as ignoring them.
“It grabbed hold and kept me turning the pages until I finished.” Goodreads review
Samantha Reyes finally gets up the nerve to ask what’s on her mind: is spontaneous human combustion behind the shocking deaths of teenage girls in her small town of Hillside? After the school newspaper editor blurts out the question at a news conference, she follows a trail of hot clues ignored by police.
But she can’t work fast enough. Another girl burns to death, and now a shadowy figure is stalking her best friend.
All roads lead to a creepy old mansion with a dark past. Samantha suspects something sinister still haunts its creaky halls, looking. Looking for more victims. To solve it, she and her friends must summon a long-forgotten phantom, catch it on video, and send it back to wherever it came from.
