"De Elizabeth is a master storyteller and easily one of my favorite authors.... She Haunts Me Still is sexy, passionate, dark, and spooky—an incredible novel that readers will tear through until they get to the great and terrible end.

This is yet another narrative that I was obsessed with from the earliest pages, and it makes me even more excited to see where Elizabeth goes next with her storytelling."
