When seventeen-year-old necromancer Sapphire Sweetman befriends the spirit of Mona Delaney, she thinks all of her problems have been solved. Mona proves to be very useful when it comes to propelling her up the social ladder at school and dishing out haunting - and sometimes frighteningly cruel - punishments to those that Saffy deems deserving, but soon she begins to realize that Mona isn't quite who she says she is. People across the county are vanishing without a trace, and when Mona demands a sinister favour in return for her loyalty, Saffy's world is upended completely. The options are clear: comply, or become subject to the rage of a spirit who is far more powerful than she first seemed.

Moving to a new home was supposed to be a fresh start for Mari Chu, a quiet, antisocial teenager who never quite fit in. Her mother had found them a beautiful old house in Korea for an unbelievably good price, but the whispers surrounding it were impossible to ignore. Even when her mother wanted to buy back her old childhood home. Years ago, a boy named Ryan Han fell from the rooftop of his own home. Some called it suicide, others suspected murder, but the truth remained buried with him. At first, Mari brushes off the strange occurrences-flickering lights, cold drafts, the feeling of being watched. But everything changes when she sees him. Ryan, still lingering in the house, trapped between life and death. What begins as fear soon turns into something neither of them expected-a connection. As Mari unravels the mystery behind his tragic fate, she finds herself drawn to Ryan in ways she never imagined.

This means there will be some violence and gore. It's also rated mature for language, mentions of previous sexual abuse, and general teenage behavior. Thank you so much for reading!
