Book
Description:
Forced to leave the few friends
she’s ever had and the only life she’s ever known, snarky fifteen-year-old
Marissa arrives at Briar Creek, a remote Virginia plantation house, lonely and
unhappy. Immediately upon arrival, she learns that her parents have come under
the power of the demon that has dwelled there for over a century and that her
very life hangs by a thread. With her life in peril, Marissa makes several
discoveries that would turn any teenager’s life upside down.
Finding out that the nearby town
of Mills Run is inhabited by the souls of her dead relatives who continually
try to communicate with her is terrifying. Knowing her parents are under full
control of the demon, who unbeknownst to her wants to father a child and rule
the world, is even worse. Realizing that she only has Max, her faithful dog for
support, Marissa begins to give up all hope.
That’s until she finds the journal
of the long dead boy who used to occupy her room. Reading about his life,
Marissa begins to fall in love and fantasizes about the seemingly impossible,
meeting him. Her impossible dream miraculously comes true when Zachary
materializes to save her life and teach her of the powers she never knew she
possessed. Allied with her first love, and more powerful than any teenage girl
ever dreamed, Marissa gains confidence and believes she can do anything.
Together, can this improbable duo save Marissa’s family and the world from the
demon before it’s too late?
