Bestselling author Katherine Arden returns with another creepy, spine-tingling adventure in this follow-up to the critically acclaimed Small Spaces .

Having survived sinister scarecrows and the malevolent "Smiling Man" in Small Spaces, newly minted best friends Ollie, Coco and Brian spend winter break together along with their parents at Mount Hemlock, a down-on-its-heels ski resort run by the Beard family. With its sale to a big, shiny new resort just over the mountain imminent, this is the last season Mount Hemlock will be in operation. Ollie, Coco and Brian make the best of the situation spending their days learning to ski, but at night, Ollie is plagued by what sound like footsteps outside her door. When she gets up to look, there's no one there. Then Ollie and Brian start seeing a strange figure around the resort. After asking about him, they start to suspect the figure is actually a ghost--Gerald, Mr. Beard's former partner, who died the year before after getting lost on the mountain in a snowstorm. The friends realize after the events of Small Spaces, they've been left with the ability to see ghosts and this ghost wants something. They begin to investigate, but know not all ghosts can or should be trusted. Still they follow the clues that Gerald lays out and shortly come to understand Gerald is leading them to his killer. The closer they get, the more they risk joining Gerald in the shadow world.

Ever since Ollie, Coco, and Brian managed to outwit the Smiling Man in his haunted corn maze, the friends have hoped that would be the last they would see of him. But when Ollie and her friends go to a lodge near the Mount Hemlock Ski Resort, they find out that it is haunted by the ghosts of Mistress Hemlock and a ghost named Gretel. Their problems get worse when they are trapped in a snowstorm in the lodge. Could it get any worse? Unfortunately, it does. But then Ollie, Coco, and Bryan find out that the Smiling Man is in the lodge with them, and this time, he's determined to trap Ollie and her friends in a mirror forever. I liked this book because it contained a lot of suspense, and it is sort of creepy.
