This coming-of-age novel avoids unrealistically neat moments of closure-it will make readers hurt, and maybe even believe. But bad habits can't be overcome in an instant, and walking a narrative mile in Cass's shoes will leave readers wincing (“I haven't liked anyone who wasn't dead for four years,” she tells Tim after his life takes an especially dark turn). This collection of stories gives a new voice to three characters from Megan Crewes thrilling post-apocalyptic Fallen World trilogy and a glimpse of life. Cass McKenna much prefers ghosts over breathers. After popular student Tim approaches Cass with an uncanny request, however, she begins to rethink her vengeful motives. Read 455 reviews from the world's largest community for readers. Cass uses her ability to speak with ghosts to ferret out ugly secrets about her classmates, earning her a reputation as a psychic freak. The sisters are closer than ever because no one else can see Paige, and no one else will talk to Cass. Cass doesn't really miss her sister, though, because Paige is haunting her-lovingly but unrelentingly. Four years after her older sister, Paige, accidentally drowns, 16-year-old Cassandra is embittered by rejection from her peers and estrangement from her grieving parents. Crewe's debut novel, despite its paranormal twist, is realistic and honest in its portrayal of an angry, struggling teenage girl.
