Haunted by the dead. Trapped in the past. And running out of time.
Some people tell themselves white lies to protect their ego. I do it to protect my soul. I'm Kat and I've had to actively disbelieve in ghosts since one tried to possess me when I was nine. Disbelieving keeps me safe...
Until my junior year, when my favorite professor asks me to work with my handsome rival Evan to help solve a century-old murder mystery-an opulent wedding night gone horribly wrong. A bloody turret room, a missing bride and groom, hints of a haunting, and whispers of a curse.
I refuse to spend my summer working with Evan at a haunted castle. I won't risk the ghosts invading my life again. But a single photograph of the wedding party seals my fate. The ghost that saved me and the ghost that tried to possess me were living, breathing bridesmaids at that doomed wedding.
Now, I need to face the ghosts and figure out our connection. Evan thinks this is just a school project, but he's wrong. While exploring the turret room, we stumble upon the castle's greatest secret when we slip through a magic portal and wake up with our souls trapped inside the bodies of two wedding guests in 1886. Which changes everything.
With only each other to rely on, we race to stop the wedding-night murders and find a way back to our own time-and our own bodies-before our souls disappear forever.
