A Rose by Any Other Name — Alexie Aaron

Who knowingly buys a haunted mansion in Chicago? A mansion so haunted that not even a developer will touch it? PEEPs originating partner Mike Dupree's mother, Glenda, knows a deal when she sees it. This beautiful rose-brick mansion has stood since the Chicago fire. The interior is pristine, and the neighborhood is rapidly becoming the place to live in the Windy City. Glenda enters into a provisional sale on Rouston Rose and hires the Paranormal Entity Exposure Partners to clean house. They have one month to identify the problem and escort whomever is haunting the mansion out. If it can't be done, Glenda is out a packet of money.

From the moment Mia steps into the house, she knows something is wrong. Her intuition has left her, and her ability to communicate silently with Murphy is gone. Whatever resides there is so powerful that it has crippled the most powerful sensitive of her generation. The PEEPs prepare the house for a full investigation while the wind howls outside. Chicago is forecast to have a mild blizzard, if a blizzard can be mild.

Almost immediately, Mia, Cid, and Murphy are taken by the resident ghost Renee. While the snow accumulates outside, the PEEPs struggle to unlock the mystery of the house and get their people back. But Renee is just one petal on the rose of evil that lives and thrives in Roustan Rose.

Come, pull on your warmest sweater, find an afghan to pull around you, and pour a warm cup of your favorite beverage to guard you from the cold. Why? Because A Rose by Any Other Name holds chilling secrets.
