Deception (Haunting Emma #1) by Lee Nichols

When Emma Vaile’s parents go missing while away on a mysterious business trip, she’s left all alone in her creepy old house. But her brother’s very cute best friend, Bennett Stern—Emma’s knight in J. Crew armor—arrives unexpectedly to whisk her away to New England. There, Emma settles into his family’s museum-like mansion and enrolls at an old-fashioned private school. She quickly finds friends in the popular legacy crowd at Thatcher and spends her free time crushing on Bennett.

But the eerie visions she’s been hiding from everyone have gotten worse. Emma has memories of Thatcher that she can’t explain—it’s as if she’s returning home to a place she’s never been. Finally, Emma confides in Bennett and learns she is a ghostkeeper, a person who can communicate with ghosts. Bennett brought Emma to Thatcher to protect her, but now he needs her help tracking an other-worldly murderer.

Emma Vaile ramane singura in vechea ei casa infioratoare cand parintii ii dispar intr-o calatorie de afaceri misterioasa. Dar foarte dragutul prieten cel mai bun al fratelui sau, Bennet Stern, soseste pe neasteptate si o ia pe Emma in New England. Aici Emma se stabileste in conacul ca un muzeu al familiei lui si se inscrie la o scoala privata de moda veche. Ea isi gaseste repede noi prieteni la Thatcher si isi petrece timpul liber visand la Bennet.
Dar viziunile stranii pe care le ascundea devin din ce in ce mai rele. Emma are amintiri despre Thatcher pe care nu si le poate explica - este ca si cand s-a intors acasa intr-un loc in care nu a mai fost pana acum. In final, Emma se destainuie lui Bennet si afla ca poate comunica cu fantomele. Bennet a adus-o pe Emma la Thatcher pentru a o proteja, dar acum el are nevoie de ajutorul ei pentru a urmari un criminal din lumea cealalata.
