Everything a girl could want in a best friend...with one minor caveat. He's dead. Caught somewhere between life and death, Evan is tied to Jane and the living world unable to complete the journey to the other side. She thinks hes here to be her friend, to take care of her, and thats why no one can see or hear him. That is until a new boy shows up at school after a rumored stretch in Juvie. Connor can see Evan and hes not convinced the ghost is being completely honest. From his own experience ghosts tend to need something from the humans they connect to and Evan, despite his arguments isnt any different.

Jane must face her fears and battle Evans human demons to free both of them. Freak. Weird. Crazy. These are the names tossed around seventeen-year old Jane Watts by her fellow classmates.
