Book five in THE RACHAEL O'BRIEN CHRONICLES finds Rachael moving into a house with her girlfriends for junior year. She is psyched to ditch dorm life, but can't shake her niggling reservations about the narcissistic live-in landlady, who has a history of derailing Rachael's love life. She soon learns, however, there are more serious problems to deal with.
When her mom shows up to relay an ominous premonition, Rachael dismisses it as one more bit of nonsense until a former stalker threatens Rachael and her roommates from beyond the grave in Paisley Ray's JOHNNY CAKES.
Adele knows she witnessed a murder - what she doesn't know is just how personal it is.

What she doesn't know is why this all happened and who this guy is. As she tries to solve the mystery from a distance while in witness protection, the connections keep getting weirder and more personal. Might she be able to relate to the killer in a way that no one else can? And what does that mean about her own psyche?
