"Grief can change us... shift the way we look at the world..." Mackenzie Clair needs a fresh start. The death of her father and a broken relationship rendered her old life unlivable. What better place to build a new one than Donn's Hill, the most haunted town in America and her favorite childhood vacation spot? But returning to Donn's Hill awakens more than nostalgia. As memories resurface, so does a lost psychic ability to talk to the dead... a power the poltergeist haunting Mac's apartment is eager to use. Aided by her new roommate--a spirited Tortoiseshell cat named Striker--and the ghost-hunting crew of the Soul Searchers, Mac struggles to control her newfound talents. She'd better get a handle on them fast, because someone in town is hiding a deadly secret. If Mac can't divine the truth, Donn's Hill will never be the same.
