(2) YA Seventeen-year-old Bina (a self-confessed liar) runs away to Catherine House in Manhattan, where she's confronted with ghosts both real and imagined. Suma's Gothic chiller contains an unreliable narrator; a haunted boardinghouse; complicated female relationships; and a deliciously dark, moody atmosphere delivered in lyrical and evocative prose. Those who persist through duplicitous foreshadowing and dead-end clues will be rewarded with an eerie reveal that folds gracefully into a sweetly melancholic resolution.
