I Will Never Leave You

Eighteen-year-old Maya has always known the rules for banishing ghosts – but she never imagined she'd be banishing the ghost of her former friend.

After years of emotional abuse, Maya finally finds the courage to leave Alana, stranding her on the remote trail where they'd been hiking. Seeking space, Maya flees her Los Angeles hometown for her older sister's lake house. The sleepy small town of Lake Ember feels like the perfect place to heal; at least, until Alana turns up dead right on her doorstep.

Desperate to come back to life, Alana's ghost blackmails Maya: if Maya doesn't help her possess a girl in town, Alana will frame Maya for her murder. Maya must now face the ultimate decision. Will she forgive Alana and help bring her back to life? Or can she face her fears and banish Alana forever?
