In a world where the living and the dead collide, hate might be the only thing keeping them alive. When cynical loner James discovers he's been haunted by the ghost of a murdered girl named Alima, things go from bad to worse. Bound by a curse that forces them to stay together, their mutual hatred is only outmatched by their need to solve the mystery of Lila's death. The problem? Alima doesn't remember how she died, and James doesn't care-until he realizes that unraveling the truth may be the only way to break their unwanted bond. Forced into an uneasy alliance, they must navigate dark secrets, dangerous enemies, and each other's bitterness to bring a killer to justice.
