Sent away from the world, Alona Dea—former Prom Queen and now Queen of the Dead—does something she never expected: work. Instead of sunbathing by the pool (which she usually did in the summer while... well, you know, alive), Alona must tend to the needs of other lost spirits by "helping" them through Will Killian: a social outcast, a seer of the dead, and the one about whom Alona is more worried than she would like. Before Alona can decide who Will is for her - a “friend” or something more, another problem falls on her. Mom throws her most valuable things out of the house, and father is expecting a daughter from his new wife. Has Alona’s family already recovered from her death and are moving on peacefully? But she died just a couple of months ago! Fortunately, Alona knows a guy who can put an end to all this chaos. Only Will has other plans on his mind, and Mina, a young (and beautiful) seer, takes first place in them. She's the first ghost talker Will has met besides his father, and she may have answers about his past. But can she be trusted? Alona, without hesitation, checks the “of course not” box. However, Will is eager to figure everything out, even if it means leaving the resentful and angry Alona to her own devices - and this is far from a good idea.
