Bookseller recommendation

“White Smoke was spooky and a very enjoyable audiobook experience. It had all the classic elements of a scary movie with mysteriously disappearing items, a girl who claims to talk to a ghost (parents who brush it off as an imaginary friend), abandoned houses, and a creepy town history. Jackson builds the intrigue up nicely and narrator Marcella Cox does a great job of keeping up suspense. Perfect for scary movie fans (even scary movie fans lite) and especially those that like rich historical backstory.”

Summary
About the author

The Haunting of Hill House meets Get Out in this chilling YA psychological thriller and modern take on the classic haunted house story from New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson!

Marigold is running from ghosts. The phantoms of her old life keep haunting her, but a move with her newly blended family from their small California beach town to the embattled Midwestern city of Cedarville might be the fresh start she needs. Her mom has accepted a new job with the Sterling Foundation that comes with a free house, one that Mari now has to share with her bratty ten-year-old stepsister, Piper.

The renovated picture-perfect home on Maple Street, sitting between dilapidated houses, surrounded by wary neighbors has its . . . secrets. That’s only half the problem: household items vanish, doors open on their own, lights turn off, shadows walk past rooms, voices can be heard in the walls, and there’s a foul smell seeping through the vents only Mari seems to notice. Worse: Piper keeps talking about a friend who wants Mari gone.

But “running from ghosts” is just a metaphor, right?

As the house closes in, Mari learns that the danger isn’t limited to Maple Street. Cedarville has its secrets, too. And secrets always find their way through the cracks.
