About this book

When Chloe Saunders discovers she's not just seeing ghosts but actually raising them—thanks to some seriously unethical genetic experimentation—her ordinary teenage life gets flipped on its head in the best supernatural way. On the run from the sinister Edison Group, she teams up with a charming sorcerer, a grumpy werewolf, and a no-nonsense witch who become her found family as they race to find help and stay alive. It's a thrilling mix of paranormal power-discovery, genuine friendship, and the kind of adventure that makes you question whether normal was ever really worth keeping in the first place. Perfect if you love supernatural romance with a cast of characters you'll want to root for from page one!

defiantsupernaturalintenseempoweringdarkly atmospheric

Urban paranormal discovery with indie rock edge and dark pop undertones. Blend moody alt-rock (against the current vibes), supernatural synth-pop, and brooding indie. Think witchy, defiant energy mixed with found-family warmth. Add atmospheric production and electric tension throughout.
