About this book

My name is Chloe Saunders and my life will never be the same again. All I wanted was to make friends, meet boys, and keep on being ordinary. I don't even know what that means anymore. It all started on the day that I saw my first ghost—and the ghost saw me. Now there are ghosts everywhere and they won't leave me alone. To top it all off, I somehow got myself locked up in Lyle House, a "special home" for troubled teens. Yet the home isn't what it seems. Don't tell anyone, but I think there might be more to my housemates than meets the eye. The question is, whose side are they on? It's up to me to figure out the dangerous secrets behind Lyle House . . . before its skeletons come back to haunt me.

About Kelley Armstrong

Kelley Armstrong was born on 14 December 1968 in rural Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. She is the oldest of four children of Oral and Marshall Armstrong, in a "typical middle class family" in London, Ontario. Since 12 May 1990, she is married with Jeffrey Fricke, and they had three children; Julia, Alexander, and Marcus, the family continued living in rural Ontario. ter graduating with a degree in psychology from The University of Western Ontario, Armstrong then switched to studying computer programming at Fanshawe College so she would have time to write. She is best known for the Women of the Otherworld series, since her first novel “Bitten” was released in 2001. She wrote from the security of her dungeon in the basement, where she creates tales of ghosts, demons and werewolves. Her fiction mixes supernatural characters existing in the modern world, strong romantic elements and a mystery plot.
