Jack doesn’t show up the next day as expected—he goes missing. Days later, Rachel sees Jack again, but he’s now a ghost who doesn’t realize he’s dead. Together, they embark on an adventure to uncover the truth behind Jack’s death and find his body. Along the way, they develop an unexpected bond, and Rachel’s psychic abilities grow as they unravel dark secrets about that night. Small Note: Yes, I drew myself the cover of the book, and yes, it is terrible, and no, I do not need or want a better cover.
