Synopsis

Two roommates are left reeling when a classmate--and ex-boyfriend--dies in a freak accident. But when his ghost appears on campus, it becomes clear the dead has unfinished business. Practical Magic for the YA reader, this wickedly twisted contemporary horror will keep readers up all night.

Love never dies. That's the problem.

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 Lyssa didn’t. She risked a romance with Milford's golden boy Jude Sinclair.

But when Jude dies in a freak accident, Lyssa’s world is upended. She can’t imagine her life without him—and when she discovers a way to summon his ghost, 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 girls’ past—and present—is more intertwined than she ever knew. And as Jude’s powers from beyond the grave begin to grow, it soon becomes clear that this ghost is determined to be as controlling in death as he was in life.

From critically acclaimed author Margot McGovern comes a gripping story about desire, obsession, and the strength it takes to find the way back to yourself.
