16yo Audrey Perez, her brother, and their parents are moving to New Orleans and she will be attending a girls-only private high school. Audrey doesn’t want to leave her old house or her boyfriend Chase behind but her family is hoping that the move will help her anxiety. Audrey accidentally finds a haunted mansion and thinks she hears her boyfriend’s voice calling to her from inside, so she goes in. Once she enters, she’s enthralled by the atmosphere and the library. Audrey gets possessed by three spirits, one at a time, a guitarist, a ship captain, a jazz-loving evil man, and each spirit helps her find a key. Once she starts collecting the keys, she sees and feels an ominous fog coming for her.
I like the spookiness level of the book. I found the possessive spirits interesting because they were each unique. I enjoyed the mystery surrounding the story. Audrey Perez is of Spanish descent. Tatum Stewart is Scottish. Iris Boone is African American.
