Fleurette Bradley has always been the afterthought—small, shy, and easy to overlook. In a household dominated by dazzling personalities—a glamorous mother clinging to past fame and a fiery older sister—Fleurette survives by staying out of the way.
But invisibility comes at a cost.
Fleurette is defined by what she lacks: confidence, ambition, and most of all, her mother’s approval. Yet beneath her silence lies a deep emotional intelligence and a quiet resilience. As she navigates the chaos, heartbreak, and unexpected humour of family life in the small town of Wakenhill, Fleurette discovers her own strength and the courage to step out of the background and claim a life of her own.
Jocelyn Poe is just trying to survive being eighteen, pregnant, and newly married. But when her formidable mentor, Acacia Adams, checks into the great beyond and immediately starts haunting her with instructions, Jocelyn’s life goes from complicated to chaotic.
Acacia is on a mission: stop the mayor from turning West Elbertine’s historic cemetery into a ghoulish theme park. Armed with a ghostly army and a handful of determined senior citizens, Jocelyn is wildly outmatched. Especially when the mayor’s secret weapon is a celebrity psychic who’s not only a fraud, but also charming his way into her mother’s life.
To save the dead from a fate worse than death—a rollercoaster through their graves—Jocelyn will have to embrace the weird, raise a little hell, and prove that you should never, ever, underestimate the dead.
