The spooky, swoony YA debut from BookTok star @Merrowchild!
Someone is stripping Europe's most haunted city of its spirits.
When self-destructive, 16-year-old seer, Charlie Frith, realises
that one of his own ghostly friends has gone missing, he must put
aside his own safety - and reclusive existence - if he is to find
them.
Charlie reluctantly teams up with Sam Harrow - the new seer in
town - and a rag-tag group of ghosts, to save their friends from
a fate literally worse than death.
But there is a dark purpose behind these disappearances - more
sinister than Charlie could ever have imagined. And, as he slowly
comes to terms with his romantic feelings for Sam, the stakes become
even higher as time quickly runs out!
Perfect for fans of Cemetery Boys, Becky Albertalli
and V E Schwab.
