Linger - by Charlie E Maness (Paperback)

About the Book

Olivia Miller's near-fatal accident leaves her questioning whether the past she has been told is the truth. As she, her brother, and her best friend investigate their home's dark history, they uncover secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Book Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Olivia Miller thought the worst part of her life was watching her parents' marriage fall apart.

After her father's exit from their lives tears their family in two, Olivia, her brother Noah, and their mother leave Missouri behind for a fresh start in a quiet coastal town in Alabama-moving into a once-grand house that's been abandoned for forty years.

The town says the former owner simply vanished. Olivia isn't so sure.

When a devastating car accident leaves her with a serious head injury, Olivia begins experiencing something she can't explain-visions that feel far too real to be dreams. They show pieces of the past, hinting at a dark secret tied to the house and a girl who disappeared decades earlier.

As the visions grow stronger, Olivia and Noah begin uncovering pieces of a mystery thought to be long forgotten.

But the closer Olivia gets to the truth, the more dangerous her gift becomes.

Now she must decide: should she reveal what she knows and risk everyone thinking she's losing her mind... or keep quiet and let the past remain buried?

Because some secrets refuse to stay hidden.

They linger.
