'Nothing ever happens in Dawson, Colorado.

'Until high school senior Cassidy Roekiem’s mom checks into a “wellness center,” but nothing is wrong with her.

'Then people start seeing lights in the sky and missing chunks of time, but the town insists nothing is going on.

'And now Hayden, the new boy at school who keeps to himself and is more than a little mysterious, starts to notice her like it’s nothing out of the ordinary.

'Suddenly, “nothing” is starting to feel a whole lot like something. And everything leads back to Hayden. The boy she’s starting to fall for. The boy with too many dark secrets for his kind heart. The boy she’s pretty sure isn’t human…'

'When the one boy you crushed on in life can't seem to stay away in death, it's hard to be a normal teen when you're a teen paranormal.

'Sixteen-year-old Keira Nolan has finally got what she wanted–the captain of the football team in her bedroom. Problem is he's not in the flesh. He's a ghost and she's the only one who can see him.

'Keira's determined to do anything to find Jimmy's killer. Even it if means teaming up with his prickly-yet-dangerously-attractive brother, Dan, also Keira's ex-best-friend. Keira finds that her childish crush is fading, but her feelings for Dan are just starting to heat up, and as the story of Jimmy's murder unfolds, anyone could be a suspect.

'This thrilling debut from Vanessa Barneveld crosses over from our world to the next, and brings a whole delightful new meaning to "teen spirit".'
