Library of Shadows

By Rachel Moore | Publisher: HarperCollins

About the book

Funny, moving, and heart-achingly real, this romantic romp and paranormal romcom debut—through a haunted library with trapdoors, ghosts, and memories—is full of great love that triumphs over even death, perfect for fans of Ninth House and Cemetery Boys.

Radcliffe Prep. The third most haunted school in the country, where a student disappearance isn’t uncommon and no one dares stay in the library after dark. And Este Logano enrolls with the hopes of finding her dead father.

Not literally, of course. She doesn’t believe in ghosts. Going to her dad’s school just seems like her best hope at figuring out who he was.

But then Este meets Mateo, who is maybe—probably—definitely—a real ghost. And an annoying one at that.

When Mateo frames Este for the theft of a rare book from the library’s secret spire and then vanishes, Este will have to track him down or risk being expelled and leaving Radcliffe early just like her father did.

Except following her father’s footsteps might be more dangerous than Este ever anticipated. As she investigates the library with its secret passageways, hidden tunnels, and haunted halls, she learns that the student disappearances aren’t just myth. And if she isn’t careful, she’ll be next.


  • Ghost Romance: She doesn’t believe in ghosts, and he’s a particularly annoying one. Este Logano is not looking for love, especially not with the spirit who’s trying to get her expelled.
  • Enemies to Lovers: He frames her for stealing a priceless book. She has to hunt him down to clear her name. The line between irritation and attraction blurs in the library’s haunted halls.
  • Forced Proximity: To save her spot at Radcliffe Prep, Este must work with the ghost who put it in jeopardy. Their reluctant alliance uncovers secrets neither of them were prepared for.
  • Haunted Library: With secret passageways, hidden tunnels, and a history of student disappearances, the Lilith Radcliffe Memorial Library is a mystery Este must solve—before she becomes its next ghost story.
