Sneak Peek: 
Getting out of the car I walk up the stone path to the house to meet Desi. She’s dressed in a pretty black flapper dress. The beads on the bottom click in the soft spring breeze. 

“Hey Des, what’s going on?” 
She glares at me. “Do you not research the places you will be living in before you move in?” 
Desi’s stern tone is off-putting, I’ve never seen her this angry. “What are you talking about?” 
“This house.” She says gesturing to the house. “This land...this whole TOWN is situated on top of what used to be the campus of an old mental hospital.” 
“I had no…” I begin.
She holds her hand up, stopping me. “Not only is this land situated on top of the grounds of the mental hospital. It was one of the WORST mental hospitals in the United States! This house right here is sitting on top of where the women’s ward was, and under your house are the steam tunnels that led from one building to another.” 
“Steam tunnels?” 
She rolls her eyes. “Yes, steam tunnels…” She looks at me to see if I understand her. “Running water...please tell me you know about running water?” I shrug and shake my head. I have no idea where she is going with this. Desi gives me a disgusted look. “The water in the steam tunnels is ionically charged so that it can create portals from the spirit realm to ours.”

PROLOGUE

10 years ago…

The sun heats my skin, burning my neck. I should’ve put on sunscreen like Mommy told me to, but I didn’t listen. She says I never listen.
“I now pronounce you husband and wife,” my older sister giggles, her eyes darting between me and my best friend Mascen.
“Uh…” I blink. “What’s that mean?” I hiss at Mascen.
He cuts his eyes to Hazel. “I think we’re supposed to kiss,” he whispers back, looking at the grass wrapped around my finger for a ring. Mommy wouldn’t let me borrow hers.
“Kiss?”
He nods, puckering his lips.
I’m eight, though, and shouldn’t be kissing. Daddy would hurt Mascen if he saw.
But before I can push him away he kisses me. It’s so fast I wouldn’t think it happened but static burns my lips.
“Ow!” I touch my mouth. “That hurt.”
“Kisses don’t hurt,” he argues.
Hazel runs toward the swing set, bored with this game, and I take off the itchy dress she made me put on over my clothes so that it’d be a real wedding.
“You shocked me.” Hands on my hips I stare defiantly up at the boy who’s only ten but is so big he could pass as twelve. It’s annoying.
“You knew I was going to kiss you.”
“That’s not what I meant.” My lips turn down in a pout.
Mascen looks at the blade of grass I put around his finger. “What do we do now?”
“Hazel’s gone, so whatever we want.” I’m already heading toward the jungle gym.
“We’re married. We should do married people things. Like … kiss again.”
I shoot Mascen a confused look. “My parents never kiss anymore. All they do is fight.”
Mascen stops walking. “Really? Mine kiss all the time. It’s gross, but kissing you isn’t.”
I feel my cheeks get hot. “No more kisses. We’re not actually married.”
“What if I want to be?” He tilts his head, hands on his hips.
“We’re too young,” I scoff.
Mascen’s eyes get bigger. “Fine, when we’re older then, you’re going to be my real wife.”
“Whatever you say. Can we go play now?”
“Sure, Rory.”
He grabs my hand and we run the rest of the way to the jungle gym.
That was the last day where my life was so simple.
The next, everything went to hell.
