Birthdays are supposed to be filled with fun and games, and for a girl, her sixteenth is supposed to be one of the most special.
But what happens when you receive a gift that you never wanted to get in the first place?
For Emily Crawford, that's exactly what happened. It wasn't a nice gift, all wrapped up with a pretty bow with wrapping paper to tear off: it was something that made her life a living Hell. And perhaps the worst part is that she can't get rid of it. No gift exchanges, no store credit... Just the World's Worst Gift, which she'll be stuck with for the rest of her life.
To make things even more complicated, Emily meets Ryan: a hot young guy that just moved to town and appears to have a thing for her, just like she does for him.
What happens when her "gift" gets in the way, showing her something that she desperately wishes she never saw in the first place? Love is complicated enough without throwing supernatural bonds and powers into the mix, but in this case, Emily has no choice.
Getting caught between a rock and a hard place is never fun, and in this case, it could be deadly...
Thanks to JazzyXD for going ahead and making the cover and for giving me a base for the synopsis! Her help has been greatly appreciated.

Echoes Of The Living | Ryan Rees [ Twin Paranormal ]
Ryan has encountered countless restless spirits, but nothing prepares him for the night he connects with the presence of a young woman during an investigation. At first, Ryan assumes she is like the others-a soul lingering after death-but as their conversations deepen, chilling clues emerge: she isn't dead. Her soul has been torn from her body, leaving her trapped in a spectral limbo. With River and Wyatt at his side, Ryan sets out on a race against time to uncover the woman's identity and locate her physical body before it's too late. Their journey takes them through abandoned hospitals, forgotten archives, and haunted landscapes, unraveling a sinister force that thrives on separating souls from flesh. As Ryan grows closer to the young woman, their bond transforms from compassion into something deeper-an impossible romance suspended between two worlds. But if they find her body, will she return whole, or will the darkness that severed her spirit claim them both? Blending supernatural mystery, heart-pounding investigation, and an unexpected love story, this tale pushes the boundaries between the living and the dead, asking: how far would you go for a soul you cannot bear to lose?
