Book Overview

When sixteen-year-old Alex accepts a summer job as caretaker of an old mansion, he thinks it'll be a breeze--he plans to lay by the pool, drive around in a nice car, and meet girls. But the moment he sees the sinister-looking house he remembers why he's there: a murder suicide has left it empty and it's his job to look after things until the new owner arrives. Alone on the sprawling property, Alex becomes the victim of strange, unexplainable events...

Stays With You

I read this book when I was 6 and remember it being one of the best books that I had read. I went through a faze where this was the only book I'd fall asleep to in first grade. I'm 18 not and I haven't read for since then, but I have been searching for it for almost 10 years. I only remembered the cat on the cover and the word haunted. So happy I finally found it. Planning to purchase to see if it's still as amazing as I remember.

Spooky book for pre-teens

I read this book about 20 years ago when I was a pre-teen and I remember it being the scariest book I had ever read back then. I got it into my head to try and find it again a year ago and all I could remember was the title and vaguely what it was about. I purchased it and read it now as an adult and still enjoyed it. As an adult, I actually understand it a bit more and why what happened, did. I think it's a very good read.
