Some things are worse than death... or high school.
 
 
Fourteen-year-old Xenia Findlay survived the crash that claimed her parents and her best friend Bethany. Moving to Porter Valley to live with her great aunt should have been the perfect opportunity to heal. Instead of the peace and quiet she so desperately needs, she's plagued by terrible headaches... and hallucinatory visits from her dead friend.
 
Worse, the students of Porter Valley High are disappearing. As, one by one, the missing students join Bethany in Xenia's visions she begins to suspect that what she sees is real. If that's true, then everything she thought she knew-about the world, about death, and about herself-is wrong. Magic is real. Ghosts exist. And a monster lurks in the shadows of her idyllic new home.
 
The bodies are piling up and it won't be long before the ghastly force preying upon Porter Valley turns its eyes upon her. If Xenia can unlock the power she's discovered, she might just save herself, her town... and her very soul.
