(4) YA Lonely in New Orleans, New Yorker Rebecca gratefully befriends Lisette. Lisette, unfortunately, is a ghost whose long-ago murder cursed several prominent families--including that of Rebecca's maybe-boyfriend Anton. Rebecca becomes entangled in a web of prophecy, family secrets, and hushed-up history that endangers her own life. Morris evokes her New Orleans setting in loving detail, occasionally at the expense of plot.
