About the book
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 in this supernatural love story 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.
- A Teen Ghost Story: For 130 years, the spirit of Helen has been invisible. When a boy in her host’s English class finally sees her, she’s drawn to him in a way that risks everything.
- Love After Death: Their connection is undeniable, but their biggest challenge is finding a way to be together when one of them is in a body and the other is not.
- Body Swapping: As Helen and James search for a way to touch, they discover the ability to possess the bodies of teenagers—a dangerous gift that allows them to live, and love, again.
- Secrets of the Past: Their strange connection is no coincidence. Together, they begin to unravel the mysteries of who they were in their former lives and why they were left behind on earth.
