Two roommates are left reeling when a classmate dies in a freak accident. But when the boy’s ghost appears on campus, it becomes clear the dead has unfinished business—and this ghost is just as controlling in death as he was in life. A sinister Practical Magic for the YA reader, this wickedly twisted contemporary horror will keep readers up all night.
At the ultra-elite boarding school of Milford, students sacrifice their phones, relationships, and contact with the outside world for the chance at a top-notch education…except scholarship student Lyssa didn’t. She risked a romance with wine-heir Jude Sinclair because who could resist his charms even if they tried?
But when Jude dies in a freak accident, Lyssa’s world is upended. She can’t imagine her life without him–and when she starts seeing his ghost on campus, maybe she doesn’t have to. The only person Lyssa confides in is her outcast roommate George who hated Jude, or so Lyssa thought. It appears the past–and present–of the two girls might be more intertwined than they ever imagined, and when Jude continues to exert his control from beyond the grave, a battle for the girls’ futures is on the line.
