What They're Saying

"An exciting, fun, and gentle cozy mystery with lots of cool paranormal elements... I loved the main character, Paige, and her circle of friends. The elderly ghost grandma is THE BEST."
"A fantastic, funny cozy mystery that is Veronica Mars meets Ghost Whisperer... For me, this book was perfect."
"There was suspense, hilarity, quirky minor characters, a villainous underground society, and even a bit of a love story mixed in. I was drawn into the novel from page one."
