Misfit Cass and her beautiful best friend Devin have a tense relationship. After a double date turns ugly, Devin's body is found at the bottom of a cliff. Cass's struggle with grief and guilt is endearing and authentic, but a threatening ghostly presence puts her innocence into question. Although side characters are largely two-dimensional, this supernatural mystery is brisk and suspenseful.

YA
Ever since her boyfriend, Trip, died after a tragic car accident, Allie has felt guilty--not only because she doesn't remember the accident, but also because she is secretly relieved to be free of Trip's abusive control over her. This debut novel offers an effective blend of mystery and romance, as Allie convincingly tries to remember the past in order to bury it.
