What the House Remembers

Book One of the Dissever My Heart Series

Some houses keep memories. This one refuses to forget.

When Angeline Carter and her family move into an aging Victorian house on the edge of town, she tells herself it's the fresh start they desperately need. The towering wraparound porch, the overgrown garden, and the quiet tree-lined street all promise something she hasn't felt in a long time-peace.

After years of feeling like a spectator in her own life, Angeline wants to rebuild something real. Something safe.

But the house has other plans.

At first, the changes are subtle. A door that refuses to stay closed. A picture frame shifting when no one is nearby. The faint sense of being watched from the upstairs windows after midnight. The kind of small disturbances that can easily be dismissed as imagination... or old pipes settling into place.

Angeline tries to ignore it.

She has enough to worry about already. Her husband Will is distant and distracted, their marriage strained by secrets neither of them knows how to confront. Their teenage daughter Alexis and one year old Charlie are growing up faster than Angeline can keep up with, forming friendships and alliances that seem to pull her deeper into the strange pull of the neighborhood.

The deeper Angeline digs into the history of the house, the more the past begins to bleed into the present. Old tragedies resurface. Long-hidden betrayals emerge. And whispers of a woman named Lilibet begin to circulate through the town like a ghost story no one wants to tell out loud.

Because Lilibet didn't just disappear.

She was silenced.

As Angeline struggles to uncover the truth, strange forces tighten around the people she loves. Her husband becomes entangled with a woman whose obsession threatens to tear their lives apart. Old family ties unravel into darker secrets. And the house itself seems to be watching every move they make.

Protecting some.

Punishing others.

Meanwhile, Alexis and her closest friends begin experiencing strange dreams and unsettling visions-moments where the line between the living and the dead becomes dangerously thin.

The house is not simply haunted.

It is aware.

And it has been waiting for the right people to return.

As buried histories surface and tensions rise within the walls, Angeline realizes the house is not just revealing its past-it is testing them. Each secret uncovered pushes them closer to a truth far more dangerous than any ghost story.

Because some spirits don't want justice.

They want revenge.

And others will do anything to survive-even if it means stealing another life.

In a place where loyalty fractures, love becomes a weapon, and the past refuses to stay buried, Angeline must decide how far she is willing to go to protect her family.

Even if the house itself is asking for something in return.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Atmospheric haunted house mysteries
• Dark romance with emotional twists
• Multi-generational family secrets
• Paranormal suspense with psychological tension
• Stories where the house itself becomes a character

If you enjoy slow-burn supernatural thrillers with complex relationships and chilling revelations, What the House Remembers will pull you into a world where every shadow hides a memory-and every memory demands to be heard.

But be careful.

Once the house begins telling its story...

It never lets you leave unchanged.
