Book description
Violet Willoughby doesn't believe in ghosts. But they believe in
her. After spending years participating in her mother's elaborate ruse
as a fraudulent medium, Violet is about as skeptical as they come in
all matters supernatural. Now that she is being visited by a very
persistent ghost, one who suffered a violent death, Violet can no
longer ignore her unique ability. She must figure out what this ghost
is trying to communicate, and quickly because the killer is still on
the loose.
Afraid of ruining her chance to escape her mother's scheming
through an advantageous marriage, Violet must keep her ability secret.
The only person who can help her is Colin, a friend she's known since
childhood, and whom she has grown to love. He understands the true
Violet, but helping her on this path means they might never be
together. Can Violet find a way to help this ghost without ruining her
own chance at a future free of lies?
