Bo Adams was murdered. It was a cold December night when it happened, but, really, that was the extent of her knowledge. The truth was that she had no idea who did it or what they did to her, but until she could figure it out, her ghost was tied to the Earth.
After a new family moved into Bo's old house, Bo knew it was the perfect opportunity to figure out how she died - all she had to do was convince the girl staying in her old room to help her.
When Imogen moved to another city, the only thing she was truly excited about was the opportunity to start over. She anticipated the chance to surround herself with new people, new scenery, and much less drama. That is, until she got into a heated argument with her mother just days after arriving to her new house and stormed into her room - only to find that she wasn't the only one occupying it.
Imogen quickly found out that the city of Ashenfort was hidden with many dark secrets; everyone had demons of their own lurking around each corner, and she couldn't trust anyone.
Will Imogen be able to figure out who murdered Bo before the killer figures out what she's up to? Or is it all too much for her to handle?

I Know What You Did Last Summer {Book 1} {COMPLETED}
It was supposed to be the perfect night. The last summer party before life began to change. College applications, real relationships, and the looming pressure of adulthood - none of it mattered for one fleeting night on the beach. Bonfires blazed, music thumped, secrets stirred, and for a few hours, everything felt endless. Until it wasn't. A hit. A scream. A body. And a decision that would change everything. Maya, Jace, Taryn, Zane, and Y/N made a pact: forget what happened. No cops, no confessions, no guilt. They swore it never happened and promised to protect one another - even as it quietly shattered them from the inside out. Now, one year later, the summer sun has returned to their coastal town... and so has the past. When each of them receives an anonymous message reading "I know what you did last summer." what started as a shaky friendship quickly fractures under fear and suspicion. Someone is stalking them, watching their every move, recreating pieces of that night with unnerving precision. And when the threats turn to violence, the group is forced to confront not only what they've done - but who among them might be hiding even more. In a town where everyone's wearing a mask, trust becomes a weapon... and survival means facing a truth they swore they'd take to the grave.Complete
