Perfect for you if...

You loved The Raven Cycle or Shadowhunters and want more paranormal mystery with a teenage protagonist who's actually been through real trauma.
You're drawn to stories where the dead have agency and secrets, not just jump scares or atmospheric haunting.
You appreciate slow-burn world-building where supernatural rules unfold gradually alongside the plot, rather than explained in an exposition dump.

Maybe not for you if...

You need romance to be the central plot; Jess's love life is secondary to the mystery and paranormal discovery here.
You prefer action-packed pacing; this book takes time building atmosphere and character relationships before major revelations.
You want standalone stories; this is book one of a trilogy and leaves threads deliberately unresolved.

About this book

Seventeen-year-old Jess Ballard wakes from a nightmare with cryptic words—"The Gateway is open"—into a waking crisis. Her childhood has been difficult, marked by managing her mother's alcoholism and nomadic lifestyle. Now her world has collapsed: her mother is dead under mysterious circumstances, she has been uprooted to live with estranged relatives she has never met, and she discovers that some people she encounters at school are actually dead. With help from Tia, her neurotic roommate, and Dr. David Pierce, a ghost-hunting professor, Jess attempts to understand the hauntings that surround her. As she uncovers the truth, danger intensifies. An ancient secret is emerging, and Jess learns that her contact with the dead is only beginning. This is the first book in The Gateway Trilogy.
