Retail is hell. Literally.
Lex Monroe has survived construction sites, back-breaking labor, and raising two kids on her own-but nothing prepared her for the soul-sucking nightmare of working the graveyard shift at Hell-Mart.
She's overworked, underpaid, and one corporate spreadsheet away from snapping. After years of holding the store together, Lex finally gets the promotion she deserves... but only after the current manager, Todd, dies in a hilariously freak accident involving a loading dock, a cursed garden gnome, and a tantrum.
Now Lex is the new boss of the damned-and things are getting weird.
Fluorescent lights flicker with ancient evil. The intercom whispers in Latin. Aisle 17 seems to breathe when no one's looking. And her 17-year-old daughter Tess? She just started seeing ghosts-including Todd, who's just as annoying dead as he was alive.
Turns out, Hell-Mart isn't just built on ancient burial grounds-it might be the gateway to something much, much worse.
Between haunted breakrooms, cursed merchandise, and an undead support group that won't shut up, Lex and Tess are in for the shift of a lifetime.
Clock in, gear up, and whatever you do... don't go near the clearance section.
When the spirit of a comatose man shows up in front of her, Alexis Howard is determined to help him find his identity. Little does she know, she's about to get sucked into a world of secrets, lies, and murder.
***
Alexis Howard can see the dead. A gift that has done her more harm than good. Having been forced to move into a strange small town because of it, Alexis vows to cut all contact with the world of the dead. It's easy at first, especially since there don't seem to be any ghosts in Casa Nova. That is until a comatose patient of hers shows up as one.
No, he's not dead. He's just semi-dead. And he has no idea who he is. Oh, and the police think he's a cold-blooded criminal who's involved in the disappearance of a 17-year-old girl.
Believing otherwise, Alexis decides to help the spirit find his identity and becomes embroiled in the search for the missing girl. Her investigation also leads to a meeting with a peculiar cat, who seems to be much older than she looks.
Just what exactly is the connection between the three? What kind of a cat gets shot and shows up without so much as a scratch a few days later? More importantly, who is John Doe?
