Bookroo's summary

In Shadyside, the Fear family name is synonymous with a dark curse. Nora Goode and Daniel Fear's wedding day ends in tragedy, leaving only their child as the sole survivor of a devastating fire. As the new Fear grows, the question looms: can he break free from the sinister legacy that haunts his family, or will the malevolent forces that claimed his ancestors ensnare him as well? Dive into a tale of mystery and suspense, where the past's shadows threaten to engulf the future.

From the publisher

The Fear name brings fortune… and doom. The dark power of the Fear family consumes all those connected with it. The Fears. Those they love– and hate. The entire town of Shadyside. All are tainted forever by the evil of the family’s curse. No one can escape. Nora Goode and Daniel Fear hoped to end the curse of the Fear family. But on their wedding day, a horrible fire swept through the Fear mansion, taking the life of every member of the doomed family. Except one. A new Fear. The child of Nora and Daniel. Will he be able to live his life untouched by the evil of his family? Or will the dark forces claim yet another Fear for their own?
