Clover Bennett has been trapped in the foster system for seven years when she's finally given a chance to live with an aunt she's never met in the sleepy Pennsylvania town of Ravenwood. Well, Raven's town, as it is more formally known. She's enjoying finally feeling safe again when the tattoo tearing itself into her skin reminds her; she's not. 
 
Clover and her ghostly partner, Chrono, are tossed into the mysterious death of one of the towns foundering families, Bishop Oswald. She is thrown down the stairs by one of the houses less than playful ghosts. His death is none of her business, but the spirits are her business. She takes herself out of the Detectives line of sight and attempts to meet the ghosts when she's met with a more dangerous foe. With only a week before the opening of the town's new history museum and the revelation that a Banshee is haunting the premise, Clover is forced to play nice with a Detective she doesn't trust and his partner who doesn't trust her. The more the Detectives discover about the man's strange death, the more unusual it becomes. The more Clover learns about the Oswald family's carefully hidden past, the more she realizes the dead have everything to do with what's been happening to the living. In fact, the family's tale of suicide and death goes back a very, very, long time. Worst of all, the closer the opening of the Museum gets, the more the three are beginning to learn their separate cases are connected. 
 
Will Clover and the Detectives be able to stop the Banshee and the murderer in time for the Museum opening? Or will Clover fail to save lives once again?

Courting Death | Book 3 by twelvewonderingstars
36 parts Complete
[BOOK THREE] "Falling in love was never a plan, Minnie." I sighed, fingers reaching up to rub my temples as I blinked my very translucent eyelids. "I was never courting death. No pun intended. And now I'm quite literally a few thousand feet underground, possibly dead, and in love with an eon-old spirit. What else could happen?" *** She had honest to god tried so hard as to stay out of harm's way. However, Addison's new found friendship with Death himself was enough to force her to make the worst decision of her life: Jump in front of a poisonous dart that could kill off an immortal god-like being just so she could protect the cynical spirit she had fallen in love with. Oh, and was it mentioned that the spirit was actually Death himself and had been trying to kill her off just a year ago? Yeah, that happened. Now stuck in the underworld of hell itself, Addison needs to find her way back to the land of the living. With only one of her best friends, Minnie Hoover, as a companion through this deadly (not so much for her since she's already stone cold dead) mission, as well as the said spirit by her side, the blonde stunner has five days to find her way back to life before she would be shipped off into the reincarnation system. And thus losing herself, and her friends, forever. How hard could it be? After all, Addison didn't need to worry about being stabbed in the back again (in every sense of the word). Perhaps all it takes is the one thing she tried to avoid from the beginning. A kiss from Death himself. ***** Highest Rank Fantasy: #7
