Synopsis

Delilah and Gavin's new love is threatened by a force uncomfortably close to home in this haunting novel from New York Timesbestselling duo Christina Lauren, authors of Beautiful Bastard.

His shirt is black, jeans are black, and shaggy black hair falls into his eyes. And when Gavin looks up at Delilah, the dark eyes shadowed with bluish circles seem to flicker to life.

He lives in that house, the one at the edge of town. Spooky and maybe haunted. Something worse than haunted. And Gavin is trapped by its secrets.

Delilah and Gavin can't resist each other. But staying together will exact a price beyond their imagining.

“Masterfully told and wholly original, THE HOUSE is a bold new take on the haunted house genre. Don’t read it at home alone. Or at night. Or at all, if you scare easy. You’ve been warned!” (Ransom Riggs, New York Times bestselling author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children)
