Metamorphosis: A Grove Hollow Novel - by Shelby Nicole (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Stranger Things meets Twilight in this stunning gothic paranormal romance! A teen girl is swept into an opulent world of love, lies, and ghosts after she moves in with the wealthy, mysterious family she never knew she had. Book One in the Grove Hollow series, this is an 80s dark academia-tinged tale full of fated love, a cursed amulet, and twisted family secrets.

The year is 1985, and eighteen-year-old Jade Whitney is about to discover her family holds a dark secret that will change her life forever. Sent to live with her Great Aunt Ruth, Jade moves into Blythe House, her family's sprawling, gilded mansion--but picturesque Grove Hollow, New York, is anything but welcoming.

At Jade's new private school she's shunned by everyone except for the Misfits, the school's edgy outcasts, who spend their weekends exploring abandoned haunted mansions and listening to the Cure. But Jade's eye keeps wandering back to Brad, the charming, handsome rugby captain, who might just be the only other kid at school to welcome her.

Everything changes when Jade finds a cursed locket in a derelict estate. The locket is connected to a Victorian ghost named William, who desperately needs Jade's help, and who Jade feels an undeniable attraction to. And the closer they grow, the more urgent it becomes for Jade to decide where her heart truly lies--and if she's really willing to let Will go.
