✨A WATTYS 2022 PARANORMAL & "BEST CHARACTERS" WINNER✨
A college basketball star risks everything to prove his innocence with a girl who can communicate with ghosts.
***
Ace Jones isn't certain about a lot of things in life, but basketball has always come easy. This is until he finds himself as the prime suspect of a murder he knows he didn't commit. Lucky for him, Devyn Brooks knows he didn't commit it either. But not because she witnessed it--she simply sees the victim as plain as day and even endures her incessant talking. Though Devyn usually does everything in her power to hide her supernatural ability, she'll have to start embracing it in order to save Ace from a common fate. And Ace will discover a deeper part of his identity that challenges his notions of the world. Will they be able to solve a case that America is so eager to pin on another Black man?
