Origin. The Bait Trilogy, #2

Every haunting has a beginning. And not all of the dead stay buried. Twenty years before the horrors of Bait, another family tried to make a home in the shadowed countryside. For the Collins family, Leavenshome Farm was meant to be a fresh start - a quiet place to heal after tragedy. But some places don't offer peace. They demand something else entirely. Still reeling from her sister's death, teenager Connie Collins knows her family is breaking apart.
Her parents barely speak. The house feels wrong - cold, watchful. And then the whispers start. The flickers of movement in the corners of her vision. The unmistakable feeling that she's not alone. Connie believes her sister is trying to reach out from beyond the grave. But as the haunting intensifies, she begins to fear that something else is in the house too. Something older. Something cruel. And it doesn't just want to be seen - it wants to stay. Some grief opens doors.
And once opened, they're not so easily closed. Origin is the chilling second book in the Bait trilogy - a haunting tale that reveals the buried origins of the terror that would later consume Leavenshome Farm.
