Lorna’s been dead for three years, but her story is just beginning. Stuck in the afterlife, grappling with unresolved grief and ghostly therapy sessions, Lorna’s world takes a sharp turn when she meets Jackie—a fierce, freshly murdered teen with unfinished business. Their unlikely bond quickly evolves from reluctant friendship to urgent mission when Jackie’s killer sets his sights on Lorna’s daughter.

While the rules of the afterlife get a bit murky at times, the tension never falters. It’s a story that pulls you between two worlds, rooting you in a desperate fight for redemption and revenge.
A darkly clever, emotionally resonant supernatural thriller—perfect for fans of The Lovely Bones and The Sixth Sense.
