ONE OF ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY'S "BIGGEST AND BEST YA BOOKS OF THE SUMMER"

From Danielle Vega, YA's answer to Stephen King, comes a new paranormal novel about dark family secrets, deep-seated vengeance, and the horrifying truth that evil often lurks in the unlikeliest of places.

Clean slate. That's what Hendricks Becker-O'Malley's parents said when they moved their family to the tiny town of Drearfield, New York. Hendricks wants to lay low and forget her dark, traumatic past. Forget him. But things don't go as planned.

Hendricks learns from new friends at school that Steele House--the fixer upper her parents are so excited about--is notorious in town. Local legend says it's haunted. But Hendricks isn't sure if it's the demons of her past haunting her ...or of the present. Voices whisper in her ear as she lays in bed. Doors lock on their own. And, then, one night, things take a violent turn.

With help from the mysterious boy next door, Hendricks makes it her mission to take down the ghosts . . . if they don't take her first.

Praise for The Haunted

Praise for the Merciless series:
"Chilling--think 'Mean Girls' meets 'The Exorcist'...a fast-paced thrill-ride."--MTV.com

"Pretty Little Liars fans, get a sneak peek at your new favorite book The Merciless...a nail-biting thriller."--Seventeen Magazine

"Sick. Wicked. Twisted. This is my kinda fun." --Marlene King, executive producer of Pretty Little Liars

"Mean Girls with an occult twist."--Kirkus Reviews

"This pulse-pounding, debut novel creates a wickedly creepy atmosphere where mean girls quickly turn homicidal."--School Library Journal

"Page-to-page Stephen King-style terror..."--Booklist

"After finishing this gruesome and heart-racing novel, readers will be left wondering if the devil is in us all."--VOYA

"With strong, well-developed supporting characters...this pulse-pounding follow-up to Vega's Merciless...is a terrifying delight of a read. Hard to put down, this scary novel is a must-read for teenage fans of fright." --School Library Journal

"Gripping, intense horror for teens with strong stomachs." --Booklist

"Turning to a classic Stephen King-style horror plot that relies on an isolated setting as much as bloodied bodies and hellishly inventive violence, Vega's grisly second installment rips into biblical platitudes to lay bare the notions of deliverance and redemption." --Kirkus Reviews
