Five a.m. is way too early to be functional. I trip over a bush as Jezza, Melanie, and I hike to the nearest bus stop that will take us into town. I wore jeans, sneakers, and my favorite pink top. Jezza wore a plain blue skirt and her white polo shirt from school. While Melanie wore ripped jeans and
"Trust me, one of my friends will meet us." At least I hope they will. None of us had been in contact since I went to Hallowhaven. Either they were too busy with their lives or I was dealing with ghosts I accidentally raised. My heart squeezes thinking about Ben and Kiarr. And I miss Jacques too. Wh
The bell rings and the hallways are crammed with students. A few I recognize, smiling at them. Some smile back before blinking and jerking away. Others just walk past me like I'm not there."Search the crowds," I tell Jezza and Melanie. "We could get lucky and spot her."But that plan doesn't work a

I don't know how long I sit on the sidewalk, sulking, but I scrub a hand down my face. The wraith won't care that I'm heartbroken or how I can't get Ben and Kiarr back. Or that I am missing Jacques's French accent and his kiss. How I was wrong to let my fear and prejudice come between us. I push to
I know I should wait for Jezza and Melanie, but I can't. Not when I'm so much closer to getting Ben and Kiarr back. And I never found out what happened to Jacques in the leyline either. He saved my life even when I let my fear and prejudice get in the way.My insides quivering, I send a quick text t
