Fantasy. Horror. Young Adult Fiction. LGBTQIA+ (Fiction.) HTML:

A medium desperate to save his town, a grieving brother wanting revenge, and a girl who's decided to end ghosts once and for all, converge in the town of St. Hilaire, where the spirits of the dead roam the streets and there's no such thing as resting in peace.

Russ Griffin has always wanted to be a fantastic medium. Growing up in the town of St. Hilaire, where most residents make their living by speaking to the dead, means there's a lot of competition, and he's always held his own. But Russ knows the town he loves is corrupt, and he's determined to save it before the sinister ruling body, The Guild, ruins all he's ever wanted.

Willow Rogers is St. Hilaire royalty. An orphan, raised by The Guild, she's powerful and mysterious. But she has secrets that might change everyone's fate. She's done with St. Hilaire, done with helping spirits move on. She wants to end the cycle for good and rid the town of ghosts, even if that means destroying the only home she's ever known.

Asher Mullen lost his sister, and his parents can't get over her death. They sought answers in St. Hilaire and were turned away. Now they want revenge. Asher is tasked with infiltrating the town, and he does that by getting to know Russ. The only problem is, he might be falling for him, which will make betraying him that much harder.

Russ, Willow, and Asher all have their own agendas for St. Hilaire, but one thing's for certain, no one will be resting in peace.

    I think I would have enjoyed this novel more if I had known that it was a follow on from "Prelude to Lost Souls" which I have not read. As it was, it took me ages to get my head around a) the concept of a school village where people come and pay to talk to ghosts and the students all learn to be mediums (St Hilaire's), b) the fact that Russ' boyfriend Ian has died in mysterious circumstances and has now come back as the most powerful and substantial ghost ever c) that there is some power struggle going on to bring down the leadership of the Guild of St Hilaires ( for some reason that I never figured out) and finally d) that there is a boy Ash who is trying to trick his way into St Hilaire's via befriending Russ so that his parents can film a TV show to prove that ghosts don't exist! Confused yet? You will be....but if you pursue, eventually all the pieces slot together and the mysteries are solved, people fall in and out of love and power struggles abound. I liked the ending as everything wrapped up nicely. For fans of the supernatural tropes. ( )
