Delilah is dead. But her story is far from over. In this feminist supernatural suspense novel, she will find her peace—and give hell to the man who killed her.
Delilah’s death was not swift or painless. A ghost at nineteen, business entirely unfinished, her last breath was angry. Someone killed her, but she doesn’t know who.
Undead creatures stalk Delilah’s spirit, eager to feed on her soul until nothing is left but a frightening poltergeist. She can’t pass on until the violence of her death is balanced with a life for her life.
Her killer must be killed.
If anyone can find her murderer and keep the darkness at bay, it’s Magda, the owner of the strip club where Delilah danced—and a powerful spirit medium. And when a young man comes to town seeking Magda’s supernatural services, he can see Delilah. He can hear her, touch her, and make her feel alive again.
The three come together to search for Delilah’s murderer. As the creatures close in, Delilah’s soul weakens but her power as a poltergeist grows, allowing her to affect the living.
Delilah may be dead, but she won’t waste this second chance—she’ll take those who’ve harmed her down with her.
