Sixteen-year-old Jake Livingston sees dead people everywhere. But he can’t decide what’s worse: being a medium forced to watch the dead play out their last moments on a loop or being at the mercy of racist teachers as one of the few Black students at St. Clair Prep. Both are a living nightmare he wishes he could wake up from. But things at St. Clair start looking up with the arrival of another Black student—the handsome Allister—and for the first time, romance is on the horizon for Jake.

A Bit Of My Reading Life
 |
I’m currently reading a murder mystery procedural of a detective on leave who has decided to investigate on his own the murder of Father Pantone, because it was his friend who he was visiting when he discovered the crime scene: Only The Holy Remain by Alverne Ball. So far it’s checking off the tropes I like and it’s tossed in a job I don’t think I’d read about before, a military chaplain.
I refuse to get off this romance train I’ve been on since around 2016 and am loving Alexis Daria’s A Lot Like Adiós. And my fantastic memoir streak continues as I just finished the excellent audiobook for Somebody’s Daughter by Ashley C. Ford.
And a few authors I really like have upcoming books I am THE most excited to have gotten my greedy little hands on galleys: Secret Identity by Alex Segura; Silent Parade by Keigo Higashino; The New Girl by Jesse Q. Sutanto. I squealed for each one!
