They Stay - BOOK 1

To a necromancer, the dead aren’t gone—they just need a new body.

16-year-old Shiloh Oleson would do anything for her little brother Max. Protecting him is all she’s ever known how to do, especially with things at home being as … well, crappy as they are. So when he goes missing after tee-ball practice, her world implodes.

She would do anything to get him back. Then this girl she barely knows corners her at school and says she knows where Max is. Her source?

A ghost.

Yep. A ghost told her.

Shiloh is forced to confront a horrifying truth: some psycho kidnapped Max and plans to kill him and use his body to bring another boy back from the dead. He’s going to murder Max soon, so Shiloh teams up with a quirky medium who can talk to the dead, her brainy boyfriend, and the school bad boy with a ridiculously punchable smirk to solve the mystery of who this necromancer is and where he’s keeping Max before her brother is gone for good.

Someone will have to die to save the boy. Who will it be?
