Bookroo's summary

Haley's Christmas ski trip takes a dark turn when her friend abandons her for the popular crowd, leaving her isolated. As eerie pranks plague the old inn, Haley becomes the prime suspect. To clear her name, she must unravel the inn's haunted history. But is the prankster a mischievous guest or a restless spirit? With each revelation, the line between reality and the supernatural blurs, and Haley must confront her fears to uncover the truth before the holiday is ruined. Can she solve the mystery, or will the ghostly presence silence her forever?
