In the class of the high school English teacher she has been haunting, Helen feels them: for the first time in 130 years, human eyes are looking at her. They belong to a boy, a boy who has not seemed remarkable until now. And Helen—terrified, but intrigued—is drawn to him. The fact that he is in a body and she is not presents this unlikely couple with their first challenge. But as the lovers struggle to find a way to be together, they begin to discover the secrets of their former lives and of the young people they come to possess.
She is a spirit, he is a boy possessed by one. What happens when their search for a future together unearths a past neither can escape?
- Paranormal Romance: For 130 years, Helen has been an invisible ghost. But when a mysterious boy in her English class is the first to see her, a love story begins that defies the boundary between the living and the dead.
- Love After Death: Helen is a spirit without a body; James is a spirit who has borrowed one. Their impossible connection is the only thing that feels real as they navigate a world that can’t see them.
- Supernatural Romance: As their bond deepens, they realize their meeting was no accident. Unlocking the tragic events of their past lives is the key to their future, but it may also be what tears them apart.
- Possession: Discovering they can inhabit the bodies of the living offers a chance to finally be together, but this dangerous power comes with a cost neither of them could have predicted.
