This emotional debut thriller follows a teen girl being haunted by the ghost of her toxic ex-girlfriend, who gives her a chilling ultimatum--help her possess another girl or go down for her murder.

"A blistering exploration of the ugliest and tenderest parts of love, Kennedy turns the classic ghost story on its head."--Courtney Gould, author of The Dead and the Dark

Maya has always belonged to Alana. After four years of dating, and on the precipice of graduating high school, Maya has been too terrified to consider the idea of life outside of their volatile relationship. Until she finds the courage to break up with Alana while they're hiking in Southern California.

Then Alana goes missing. As the police get involved and the media run wild with the story, everyone seems to think that Maya is lying about Alana's disappearance. Secretly, Maya knows they're right: if Alana's dead, she's the one to blame.

But that's not Maya's only secret. Alana isn't gone, not really--and she isn't going to let Maya go so easily...
