The New Neighbor

InnerSelf installed After your first year of college, you return home expecting a quiet summer. Instead, someone moves into the house next door. Not just any house. The house. The one everyone in Maple Ridge avoids talking about. The one where the Harper family vanished ten years ago. The mystery was never solved. The house remained empty. Until now. Avery Calloway knows nothing about the town’s history when she arrives. To her, it’s simply an old house inherited by her family. But when strange notes begin appearing, hidden compartments are discovered, and long-forgotten clues start surfacing, Avery finds herself pulled into a mystery that refuses to stay buried. Together, you’ll explore the house’s secrets, investigate old rumors, uncover forgotten evidence, and search for answers hidden for an entire decade. Along the way, friendships will grow, relationships will change, and the truth behind Maple Ridge’s most famous mystery will slowly come into focus. Because the Harper family didn’t just disappear. And someone is determined to make sure the real story never comes out. There is no predetermined romance route or ending. Some houses hold memories. This one holds secrets.
