Sarcastic, aspiring-comedian Raely is the sole survivor of a disastrous train wreck. While faced with the intense grief of losing her best friend, she acquires a stalker... that no one else sees. For a ghostly tag-along, Casper’s not so bad. He might even be the partner Raely needs to fight the evil spirit hell-bent on destroying her.

Raely and her transparent friend must learn who this demonic spirit is, why he’s after Raely, and what she has to do to stop him before he destroys her life—and potentially her soul. Which, much to her chagrin, means she’s going to need the help of a psychic, and she’s going to have to rid herself of the pesky ghost hunter who’s interested in exploiting her new abilities.

“Lyons’s thrilling yet poignant debut follows aspiring comedian Raely, the sole survivor of a catastrophic train wreck. Weighed down with grief over losing her best friend, Raely soon discovers she’s being followed by a ghost. As it turns out, the ghost, whom Raely dubs Casper, is friendly rather than terrifying. And, she thinks, he could be the perfect partner to help her fight a demonic entity that’s out to hurt her. In the race to save her life and perhaps her soul, Raely must accept the help of a psychic and employ her newfound ability to see spirits. Piper Goodeve narrates the grief-stricken yet grimly humorous Raely and her friendly ghost with heart and congeniality. Goodeve’s spot-on deliveries of Lyons’s witty one-liners and entertaining banter bring levity to the tale and keeps the action moving. Listeners will be captivated until the end as Raely and Casper face down threats both human and demonic.
