According to town gossip, Anna O’Neill is either psychic or psycho, and she needs to find out which—fast. First her mother and then her uncle have been murdered, and she doesn’t know whether the two crimes are connected. And now she’s having bizarre dreams that seem to foretell her own death. She doesn’t think everyone in town is telling all they know, and she doesn’t understand why Zack, the attractive neighbor, has taken a sudden interest in her. All Anna knows for sure is that she must get some answers from the ghosts in her family—before she becomes one herself.

"Chandler does a fantastic job of keeping readers on edge and creating a suspenseful mood and tone. This is an excellent stand-alone book that is sure to be popular."
- SLJ January 2011
"This book is a classic teen mystery/romance that may appeal to teens who were enthralled with the Twilight series. It is fast-paced, humorous, and light yet deals with some serious issues. Searching for your roots, dealing with dementia and mental illness, and finding independence are all touched upon in this third volume of the Dark Secrets series. The book is great for a short winter escape, or a long plane ride. It is a quick read with just enough suspense to keep you reading to solve the mystery. The characters are superficial but the storyline moves and is very timely. It is not the type of book you would write an English essay about, but it is great for a quick escape."—VOYA
