A girl dying to be normal…
A dark family secret…
And a journey she never could have imagined
16-year-old Ava Miller is happy. She makes good grades, has great friends and even a gorgeous new boyfriend. She does her best to stay far away from the things her family is interested in: Death and the funeral home industry. She’d much rather have the life of a normal teenage girl — which is exactly what she prides herself on being.
But Ava’s life has slowly been getting less and less normal. She’s hearing voices when she’s alone, never gets sick or injured and makes things move on their own when she gets angry. And a stunning revelation from a family friend shatters everything Ava thought she knew.
Ava is a Shade, killed as a baby and later resurrected by necromancy. Her newfound status as a living dead girl allows her to do all sorts of supernatural things — but keeping the secret is driving a wedge between her and the people she cares about most.
Determined to rid herself of her newfound powers, Ava enlists the help of Declan, a handsome but mysterious new student. Together, the two will go on a journey to find an artifact that will help Ava return to her normal life. But the road is a dangerous one, and one or both of them might not make it out alive.
