For fans of Yellowjackets and Bunny, an engrossing novel about the seduction of belonging, the repercussions of teenage vitriol, and the all-consuming horror of girlhood.
2022: I need your help. It's happening again. When she gets the call, Leah is in the midst of her second pregnancy, haunted by the sense that the daughter she carries ought to be one of a pair of identical twins. She knows what “it” is-and knows she has to return.

But when Christian, Leah, and their team break into their town's haunted mansion to celebrate a win, everything changes. The girls discover that within the houses' walls, wounds magically heal, haircuts grow back, even death can be undone-for almost all the girls.
But as the girls' visits to the house turn increasingly dangerous, Leah remains untouched by the house's magic. Desperate to hide her differences, Leah begs her identical twin, Laura, to impersonate her for one night. But the house won't be deceived. One girl is lost, and in the weeks that follow, another dies within the house's grounds.
