A darkly humorous and campy YA paranormal about a girl angling for revenge against a boy who ghosts her, while trying to keep her sleep paralysis demon at bay and navigating her first serious crush on a girl—for fans of The Ex Hex and Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
"I didn’t have edging a sleep paralysis demon on my senior year bingo card but here we are."
Boarding school senior Keziah is very familiar with the concept of ghosts—after all, a sleep paralysis demon has been her closest companion for the last few years. And she's, unfortunately, also all too familiar with the concept of being ghosted. Which isn't helping her quest to secure a date for the Homecoming dance at her all-girls school, to get her best friend off her back. And then she meets a guy who just transferred to the all-boys school nearby. He's charming, cute, and—unlike with her other dates—she actually sees potential with him. Too bad he ghosts her, too.
This time, though, she isn't going to take it so easily. Not when Guy and his friends mess with her real true love: Mr. Kim's food truck, and especially not when she finds out the real reason Guy transferred in the first place. If he wants to ghost, she'll haunt him right back to where he came from.
Enacting revenge while her sleep paralysis demon keeps bugging her certainly won’t be easy but, with help from a beautiful girl, let the real (and well-deserved) ghosting begin!
This darkly humorous story is about the demons that h(a)unt us—people from our past, our insecurities—and how we can choose to fight back.
