Of course now, after everything that had happened, Hendricks couldn’t think about his smile or his voice without feeling a rush of shame. A smile that said trust me, and a deep, throaty voice that made him seem older and more mysterious than he actually was. Rule or no rule, everyone knew it was borderline impossible to reject Grayson Meyers. “Only if you’re the captain of the team,” Hendricks had told him, teasing, and when he’d pouted she’d added, “Hey, I didn’t know you were going to ask me out before I came up with the rules!” “You have anything against soccer players?” “Good thing I’m not a quarterback,” her ex-boyfriend, Grayson, had said, brow furrowed. No clamoring to be named homecoming queen. She’d had rules and everything: No burn books or mean girl comments. Hendricks didn’t know what pissed her off more: starting over, or becoming a cliché.īack at her old school, she’d waged her own private war on clichés.

The Haunted by Danielle Vega, Pre-order, Penguin Random House Chapter One Oh, and the gorgeously creepy cover? Yeah, it's just the deliciously spooky icing on one supremely bone-chilling cake. This book promises to be as intensely terrifying and psychologically chilling as Vega's previous novels. Now Hendricks has no choice but to believe that her house is haunted by ghosts who want her family gone. And then her dad falls down the stairs with no explanation. And then her brother starts waking up with mysterious scratches.

until she starts hearing blood-curdling screams coming from the basement. But then she gets sucked into the popular crowd at school and learns that her new house is rumored to be haunted. She has a bit of a dark past, and she doesn't expect that her new classmates - or the fixer-upper her parents bought - will offer much excitement. Here's what we know about The Haunted so far: the book is written in the vein of horror movies like The Conjuring and it follows 17-year-old Hendricks Becker-O'Malley, the new girl in town. Bustle has an exclusive look at the cover and chapter one below. Vega, who is already well-known for her supremely scary The Merciless series - which centers around exorcisms and torture and a blood-curdling religious cult - and Survive the Night- about one horrifying murder-filled underground rave - will be hitting shelves again in June 2019 with The Haunted.

If you're already all up in your spookiest feels this fall, you're going to love this news: Danielle Vega is releasing another YA horror novel next year, and you can start reading it right now.
