Delia's new house isn't just a house. It used to be an insane asylum, a place to lock up "troubled" young women long ago. And a restless, wicked spirit is still at play--and it doesn't want defiant girls like Delia to go anywhere.

So the house kills her.

Now Delia is a ghost, trapped in her creepy home forever. As she meets the other ghost girls who haunt the narrow hallways, as well as the handsome ghost boy on the grounds, she learns shocking truths about the house's history. Delia also realizes that her alive and grieving sister might be the house's next target. Can Delia unlock the mystery of the old asylum, save her sister, and free herself?

My thoughts:  Not so sure about this cover...it just feels a little...dated, I guess? I can't pinpoint it--but it doesn't strike me as a big-six cover. Maybe it's the font.  Maybe it will grow on me :).  BUT I AM sure about my excitement for Katie Alender's next book!  I enjoy her style of spookiness so much! And this sound fun and creepy :D
