8 Souls by Rachel Rust

All her life, seventeen-year-old Chessie has had recurring dreams about a little white farmhouse. Quaint? Not quite. The house is the site of the unsolved murders of Villisca, Iowa, where eight people were slaughtered in 1912. With her parents on the verge of divorce, Chessie is stuck spending the summer with her grandparents in Villisca—right across the street from the axe murder house.

She’s soon hearing voices calling out for help and begins unraveling a link between herself and the town’s bloody history. And when she falls for a cute boy harboring a big secret, the pieces fall into place as she at last discovers the truth of Villisca's gruesome past…

Geez, I wasn’t expecting this book to take the turn it did, totally caught me off guard.

Chessie has had scary dreams for years and I mean scary! And she is sent to spend some time with her grandparents. Wellllll... ye olde grandparents live across the street from a house where a family was murdered! Hooray! Not!

Chessie starts having freaking worse nightmares and daymares <— yeah, that sucks too. Things happen and she gets the help of some boys in the town, Mateo and David. And then the cray begins! And there is a little love interest which goes with the majority of spook stories. Lol.

Anyhoo, we find out the reason Chessie is dreaming about these kids and hearing and seeing creepy stuff! Like I said, I never saw it coming. I thought it was a great ending!!
