The Past Repeated

About the Book

Elissa Renee Cohen, an intelligent, empathetic person, is forced to move to San Francisco to take care of her maternal grandparents. They move into a tall, formidable house, which was sold at a low price because most people were scared of the haunted vibe the house gave off. Elissa and her family didn’t have the slightest notion of the despicable past and unfathomable secrets held by their new house. Without even knowing it, Elissa gets pulled into an evil ploy. This evil ploy had been done before, way back in the past, to a woman living in the same house. The plan unravels slowly, then too quick to process. Elissa has to figure out the truth about what’s really happening before history repeats itself.
