SPOOKED. is a new adult supernatural noir with fast-paced twists and turns that teen and adult readers alike will enjoy. Highly recommended for fans of Veronica Mars, Ravenswood, and Riverdale. "A supernatural tale with a strong, engaging protagonist." - KIRKUS REVIEWS "So she was a ghost. She was still my best friend." Callie McCayter thought enrolling at a small liberal arts college in picturesque Astoria, Oregon with her childhood best friend Izzy Miller would give her a fresh start. It's everything Callie has always wanted: new school, new life, but never a new best friend. Then one night, Izzy dies on her way back to campus in a hit-and-run. Callie, almost mad with grief, can barely leave her room. She feels haunted by Izzy's ghost...and determined to hunt down whoever is responsible for Izzy's death and make them pay. But as Callie begins to dig deeper into Izzy's life and the lives of those around them, she finds it harder and harder to separate the friends from the enemies, the lies from the truth. Will Callie find out what really happened to Izzy? Or will the line between what is real and what isn't become so blurred that Callie loses herself in the process? SPOOKED. is the first book in a New Adult noir series that reads like an episode of VERONICA MARS with a supernatural edge. . . . . PRAISE FOR SPOOKED."In Rosengard's new-adult debut novel, a college student searches for the person responsible for her best friend's death--with a little help from a familiar ghost.[...] [T]he author's grasp of Callie's first-person voice is sensational: The teenager endlessly debates with herself and harps on her own shortcomings, such as her tendency to distance herself from potential friends and romantic interests. She does acknowledge and work on overcoming her weaknesses, though--and readers will definitely see her virtues even when she doesn't." - KIRKUS REVIEWS
