Possess

Mary Hades moves with her family into Ravenswood, an old house whose name alone terrifies the local people. When strange things begin to happen, Mary and Lacey set out to uncover the secret hidden in the historic house.

Mary finds her own life tangled up with events from 1847, when eleven-year-old Liza Blair was caught up in something disturbing. The closer she gets to Liza's story, the more she realises that someone close to her faces serious peril from a sinister force at Ravenswood.

The setting is an unsettling forest, and the neighbour Emmaline Delacroix, who is obsessed with death and séances, adds to the unease. The book contains strong language and scenes of horror, and it is recommended for readers aged fifteen and up. Published by Createspace Independent Pub in 2014, with 284 pages and ISBN-13 9781503173767.
