Cara Tang doesn\u2019t want to be haunted.<\/p>\n

Look, the dead have issues, and Cara has enough of her own. Her overbearing mother insists she be the \u201cperfect\u201d Chinese American daughter\u2014which means suppressing her ghost-speaking powers\u2014and she keeps getting into fights with Zacharias Coleson, the local golden boy whose smirk makes her want to set things on fire.<\/p>\n

Then she stumbles across Zach\u2019s dead body in the woods. He\u2019s even more infuriating as a ghost, but Cara\u2019s the only one who can see him\u2014and save him.<\/p>\n

Agreeing to resurrect him puts her at odds with her mother, draws her into a dangerous liminal world of monsters and magic\u2014and worse, leaves her stuck with Zach. Yet as she and Zach grow closer, forced to depend on each other to survive, Cara finds the most terrifying thing is that she might not hate him so much after all.<\/p>\n

Maybe this is why her mother warned her about ghosts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
