Book 2 in the groundbreaking, spooky series where you can talk to ghosts that come to life and help solve the mystery!

For the first time, Teddy is actually excited for the new semester.

His new neighbors, Lila and Caleb, are transferring to his school, which means he'll finally have real friends! But Teddy has a secret he's desperate to protect - one that explains why none of his classmates have spoken to him in years...

And that's not all.

Despite having sent the fire maiden back through the portal, strange things keep happening at the Castle Hill Inn. The nightmares haven't stopped, and after getting stuck in the portal herself, Lila seems to be ... flickering?! Almost as if something, or someone, is trying to summon her from our world into the next.

Teddy will do anything to protect his friends, but trouble follows him wherever he goes, and he's terrified of repeating the worst mistake of his life.

But Teddy might be the key to uncovering the fire maiden's evil plans, and in order to stop her, he'll have to face his greatest fears - the ones he's spent his whole life running from.
