About this book

Ten years after a tragic drowning shattered their lives, Shiloh Teague returns to the mist-drenched shores of Morrow’s End, North Carolina. The Epitaph Club, once a band of inseparable friends, is a ghost of its former self, torn apart by the guilt of a night that claimed one life and nearly took another. For Shiloh, the town is a burial ground of memories, and the most painful one is Beck Parish—the boy who survived, the boy who vanished, and the boy she never stopped loving.

This atmospheric paranormal romance masterfully weaves the ache of a second-chance love story with a chilling, supernatural edge. Beck returned from his near-death experience carrying more than just survivor’s guilt; he brought something back from the depths that is hungry for Shiloh. As the long-buried secrets of the Epitaph Club resurface, the line between the living and the dead begins to blur, demanding a price that neither can afford to pay.

Eden Audley delivers a hauntingly beautiful tale where grief is a physical weight and romance is a dangerous gamble. If you are looking for a story that balances spine-tingling mystery with an undeniable, lingering pull between two broken souls, this is the haunting page-turner you have been waiting for.

Hauntingly Beautiful

I have to start by saying this is one of the most hauntingly beautiful stories I have ever read. I love all the main and supporting characters, and the ‘world’ in which they live. I cannot wait to see where the series goes. THE GHOSTS WE SHARED is a story that could be about any of us wallowing in the guilt of outliving a loved one. Beck and Shiloh’s story is devastating in its ability to connect to the most vulnerable places within, dragging to the surface all the broken pieces you thought...
