"To die, would be an awfully big adventure."
***
Everything was so simple. I had the cutest boy in school, spectacular grades, a stable family, the best of friends.
Everyone knew me, and I suppose that's what led me to this point.
Popularity is always fun, that is, until it gets deadly.
After a terrible series of events Rayne Harper wakes up with no recollection of anything that has happened within the last 24 hours. She soon realizes that she won't be going back to her friends and family again as long as she's trapped between the real world and the afterlife. With help from the boy who had grown accustomed to hiding among the shadows, Rayne will have to delve into the mystery of her death and uncover what really happened that night.
And hopefully before her murderer strikes again.
