May Dawson - 2018
I can hear the dead. I’m struggling to figure out my new life as a psychic. I’m trying to figure out my new feelings for my best friend since second grade, Jax. And I’d like to pass my freshman year of college, too. And then the Hunters show up. Rough Luke and gorgeous Mave. It doesn’t take a psychic to tell those boys are trouble. They’re trying to stop the November murders. A girl disappears from campus every November, and they believe she’s being taken by a murderous poltergeist. They can’t speak to the dead. They need me. Most of all, the women on our campus, and the ghosts of the dead girls, need me. I can’t let them down. I hunt the ghost. And then the ghost hunts me. If I can trust Jax and these Hunters to have my back, we might all survive. But how can I ever reconcile these two worlds? I long for life with Jax, simple and sweet. And I crave the chance to use my gifts, with these two Hunters by my side. When you come back from the dead, how do you learn to live again?
