But Ryan was only hiding his gifts out of fear—fear of the things in the darkness, fear of his own, abusive father—until one life-altering night his fears prove right, something goes horribly wrong, and his entire family is brutally murdered by something… not human. Instantly orphaned, Ryan is raised by various foster families, until—as an adult, he finds his paranormal abilities have unexpectedly gotten him an offer to host a ghost hunting reality TV show. He desperately needs the money, but he knows that if he takes the job, using his “gifts” will make him visible to whatever it was that gruesomely butchered his family, marking him, and his newfound friends on the show, for the same fate.","brand":"Simon and Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":60378246381854,"sku":"9781545843574","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/8436\/0222\/files\/9781545843574.jpg?v=1792442849","url":"https:\/\/shop.simonandschuster.com\/products\/9781545843574","provider":"Simon and Schuster","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
