In a world where the extraordinary is denied, three girls-Amy, Alice, and Jackie-find themselves the target of a relentless government agency. Jackie, a mischievous ghost, is bound to Alice, a compassionate medium, and Amy, a determined sorceress. Together, they navigate a life filled with chaos, their unique abilities weaving a tapestry of turmoil in a society that fears them.
As whispers of their powers spread, the government deems them a threat to the established order. The girls are pursued not just for what they've done but for the potential havoc they could wreak upon a world unprepared for their reality. With each close encounter, the stakes grow higher, and their journey becomes a harrowing game of cat and mouse.
Forced to flee from those who can not understand or accept them, Amy, Alice, and Jackie must find a way to survive in the shadows. Their story is one of resilience and friendship against the backdrop of a society that seeks to erase their existence. It's a tale of three girls fighting for a semblance of peace in life-and the afterlife-that has become a hellish ordeal. As they run and hide, they must confront the question: Can they ever truly be free, or will the world's refusal to believe in them be their unending curse?

Especially when those bodies are yours. Apart of the after life, these two girls roam. Earth has changed. Monsters lurking in dark alley ways and killers at every street. Vampires as friends? Good idea or not? They're whole world is gone and the last thing they can do is find out who killed them and why. Being a ghost is interesting but man, being immortal is complicated.Complete
