Kirkus Reviews: A likable, full-bodied cast animates this entertaining supernatural tale … Both Senka and Silas are engaging leads who periodically dabble in a refreshingly understated romance … The best moments, however, are Finn’s conversations with the storyteller, which bookmark each chapter. The narrative of the teen bravely facing a sobering prognosis is uplifting in many ways ...

Booklife by Publishers Weekly: Editor's Pick Sherry’s crisp, third-person narrative flows with tension, humor, and heart. ... Senka and Silas’s journey is ethereal and sweeping but also grounded in a passion for living a life of meaning, especially when the ghostly Senka declares, “I want to do something with my continued existence.” Sherry’s confident prose enchants all the way to the satisfying end, and readers will be moved by this poignant rendering of love, loss, and hope. --Booklife by Publishers Weekly

Love lingers. Justice waits. Death is only the beginning.

She was murdered by the man she loved. Now she’s a ghost bound to the cabin where she died—until a wounded vampire, an ancient enemy, and a mysterious cat change everything.

Senka was once a rising television star. Now, she’s a restless spirit, trapped in the site of her betrayal. But everything shifts the night Silas appears—an ageless Native American vampire fleeing a ruthless Maker determined to erase him from existence. When a violent confrontation leaves the cabin in flames, Senka is finally freed, and an unlikely partnership is born.

As Senka and Silas forge a path through shadows and centuries-old grudges, they begin to pursue justice—not just for Senka’s murder, but for the other lives shattered along the way. Guided by ghosts who’ve chosen to remain in the world of the living and aided by Luna the twenty-third, a clever feline with a talent for love and loyalty, they face vengeful vampires, unravel hidden truths, and awaken powers Senka never imagined.

But love in the afterlife is complicated. Haunted by the past and hesitant to trust again, Senka must confront the choices that led her here—and decide if an eternity with Silas is worth risking her heart one more time.
