Don't wake up the past

Suspense and the supernatural mix in the electrifying Don't Wake the Past.

Seeking a fresh start, Sarah Stewart decides to return to her hometown to restore the old Victorian mansion where she grew up. Her daughters, Jade and Gracie, aren't particularly thrilled to discover the ominous mansion perched on the banks of the untamed Columbia River.

The moment she sets foot in the Blue Peacock Mansion, however, Sarah begins to question her decision. She is haunted by painful memories from her childhood—her cold and cruel mother, her half-sister Theresa, who disappeared without a trace, and the long-ago stormy night when she herself was found wandering on the terrace, feverish and delirious.

To top it all off, ever since the brutal murder of Angelique Stewart at the residence nearly a century ago, legend has it that the mansion is haunted. As a girl, Sarah sensed a presence there, and soon the youngest, Gracie, claimed to have seen the ghost of a woman in white.

The long-awaited new beginning soon turns into a terrible nightmare when, one by one, the town's teenage girls begin to disappear, and Sarah fears for the safety of her daughters in that mansion where evil seems to be the oldest resident.

Somewhere deep within her memory lies the key to unlocking a very real and terrifying danger. And only by facing her darkest fears can she stop the nightmare that threatens to come back to life once again...

Don't Wake the Past is a chilling story in which bestselling author Lisa Jackson uncovers the terrifying secrets buried for decades in a crumbling mansion.
