SAUGERTIES, N.Y. - s4story -- M.T. Maliha is set to release "Waverly Estate: Betwixted" on June 22, 2021, taking a deeper dive into the thin veil between life and death in this installment.

"Betwixted" is a quietly suspenseful ghost thriller, prioritizing character and storytelling over horror and gore. The story centers on the question, "What happens after death?" Maliha combines concepts of spiritualism and the paranormal while her meticulous research lends itself to a historically accurate depiction of 19^th century New York State and the Revolutionary War-era mansion that houses ghostly occupants.

Maliha says the final book, "delves further into the history of the Waverly family, and unravels the causes behind the mansion's hauntings." Adding, "It's been the most challenging of all to write, but very rewarding!"

About the Book
Waverly Estate: Betwixted, the third and final of the Waverly Estate Trilogy, takes a heart stopping journey through Waverly Estate's ongoing struggle to clear the mansion and its inhabitants of the evil that has become part of its stone and timber.
