A twisty YA thriller about a girl who revels in leading ghost tours, but
discovers that even she can be spooked when a chilling murder hits
closer to home.
An Indie Next pick!
Roxie Clark has seen more dead bodies than your average seventeen-yearold. As a member of the supposedly-cursed Clark family, most of her
ancestors have met tragic ends, including her own mother. Instead of fearing
the curse, however, Roxie has combined her flair for performance and her
gruesome family history into a successful ghost tour. But her tour never
covers the most recent body she's seen-her sister Skylar's boyfriend, Colin
Riley, found murdered in a cornfield.
A year after the murder, Roxie's desperate to help Skylar find closure and start
to heal. Instead, Skylar becomes fixated on finding the killer. As the sisters dig
into what really happened, they discover that more than one person has been
lying about that night. And the closer they get to the truth, the more Roxie
starts to wonder if some scary stories might be better left untold. Brooke

with a satisfying resolution." - School Library Journal
