Book cover of The Whisperings

Joana and her brother Peter have never stayed in one place for long, constantly on the move with their father, who is haunted by "the Whisperings" after their mother’s murder. When they settle into a creepy old mansion in Burlington, Joana starts to feel a sense of normalcy—until a near-death experience awakens her own connection to the supernatural. She soon discovers the house is haunted by the Keils, a ghostly family doomed to relive their brutal deaths, and must fight to protect her loved ones from a rising paranormal threat.
