House of Prey

She lived the life they gave her. Then she found the one they took. A hidden room. A ghost in the mirror. A girl unraveling everything she was raised to forget. Emily was raised to obey. To pray. To forget. For as long as she can remember, her family has been her whole world. Her safe place. Her calling. But when late-night noises lead her to a hidden room inside her bedroom wall, Emily begins to see things she can't explain. A destroyed teddy bear. A scrap of pink fabric. A girl in the mirror who isn't her. As buried memories rise from the cracks, so do questions-about her past, her identity, and what really happened to the girl who came before her. The more Emily remembers, the more dangerous it becomes to stay. But she's not alone. A quiet man who doesn't follow the rules she was raised to obey. A friend who helps her find the courage to ask forbidden questions. Together, they become her lifeline through the dark. Because the house isn't just haunted by a ghost. It's haunted by everything she was made to forget.

Rachel Bagwell's ghost has found justice. Bishop Biddle is dead. But for Emily Lyles, the night of his death is only the beginning. When the shock fades, she's left with a truth she can't unsee-she was raised in a cult, and its rot runs deeper in her family than she ever imagined. With Wanda's fierce loyalty and Kade's quiet strength at her side, Emily begins to investigate the decades-old disappearance of Rachel Bagwell, a teenage girl from her church. What starts as a search through rumors and forgotten letters soon stirs something restless in the shadows . . . something watching her. The closer she gets to the truth, the more the past presses in-through half-remembered nightmares, whispered warnings, and the ghost of a lingering presence too warm against her skin. The trail leads to a small blue house, a retired schoolteacher with a steel-trap memory, and a truth so dangerous it's been buried for thirty years. Now Emily must decide how much she's willing to lose to uncover what happened to Rachel- . . . and whether she can survive knowing the answer.
