Cherry blossom lipstick: check Smokey eyes: check Skinny jeans: check Dead kid in the mirror: check For sixteen year old Mattie Hathaway, this is her normal everyday routine. She's been able to see ghosts since her mother tried to murder her when she was five years old. No way does she want anyone to know she can talk to spooks. Being a foster kid is hard enough without being labeled a freak too. Normally, she just ignores the ghosts and they go away. There's a little glitch this time. The ghost she sees is her foster sister, Sally. Everyone thinks she's just another runaway. Mattie knows the truth, though-she's dead, murdered. Foster kids look out for each other and Mattie feels like she has to help Sally, but she can't do it alone. Against her better judgment, she teams up with a young police officer and together they set out to discover the truth of Sally's disappearance. Now the killer has set his sights on her. It becomes a race to see if she can find the truth before the serial killer finds her.

Bree and Eve share one body, but they are two girls as different as day and night. Eve is secretive and unpredictable. Bree withholds nothing from her other half. Eve prefers to create resolution through violence. Bree can barely stand the sight of blood. But one goal unites them: desire to be safe from the Trackers who hunt their kind. And for years they wander from city to city, in search of freedom and the little brother Bree believes is still alive. When Bree meets Daniel, a young man with dangerous connections and a penchant for taking in strays, including her, she finds it hard to move on. But the secret she hides risks doing more than driving them apart. It might just turn them into enemies. There's also Tristan, a boy with secrets of his own-secrets that help Eve. As her strength grows and Bree struggles to keep up, the two girls are pitted against each other in a battle over the body they share. And with the Trackers closer than ever to finding them, there's a chance neither of them will make it out alive.
