A Song in the Dark

By Brooke Archer

From the author of Hearts Still Beating comes a chilling and romantic supernatural novel set in a small town with dark secrets, about a teen girl who falls in love with a ghost.

No one is safe in Blackridge.
Not even the ghosts.

Every summer for the past twenty years, a kid from Blackridge has disappeared, snatched away and never seen again.

It's not the ideal town to relocate to, but after a tragic accident kills Jo's best friend, her mom drags Jo and her siblings to the small, haunted town to start fresh. They move into an old house, and quickly, Jo learns they are not alone. Flickering lights. Radio stations that inexplicably change. A cold, faint breath across her ear . . .

Then she meets Finn. Finn is mysterious and sweet, and he shares Jo's passion for music and songwriting. There's just one problem -- he's a ghost. And he's not the only one in the house. There are two others, and more that came before them.

As Jo and Finn grow closer, Jo believes that he and the other spirits are connected to the missing kids whose disappearances have devastated Blackridge. Desperate to hold on to the one bright spot in her dark world, she must unravel the mystery of what happened to them all before she loses Finn forever.
