Booklist - 01/01/2025 Best friends and budding reporters Josie, Alison, and Jackson want to write a groundbreaking article for their school newspaper. So, on Halloween night, they head to their town’s old cemetery, hoping to prove the existence of ghosts. Their efforts seem fruitless at first, walking out with nothing but damp, dirty clothes and shattered nerves following a close call with a security guard. Then they start receiving sinister messages on their phones, and weird things keep happening wherever they go. An angry ghost has followed them out of the cemetery, they soon realize, and the intrepid trio must figure out why it’s haunting them before the ominous countdown that’s appeared on their phones runs out—or else. Brimming with creepy imagery and unsettling scenarios, Currie’s latest supernatural mystery is bound to thrill. Historical details are woven naturally into the plot, adding a fascinating layer of fact on top of the haunted happenings, making this story appealing to fans of the curious and unusual. Pair with Holly Black’s Doll Bones (2013) and India Hill Brown’s The Forgotten Girl (2019). - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
