The Day I Died
The Day I Died Series Book 1
A Young Adult Supernatural Mystery Thriller
How far would you go to protect a secret?
Fifteen year old Rachel has a secret that’s crushing her. A secret that kills. But that becomes nothing compared to the recurring nightmare about her own brutal murder which leaves impossible bruises on her neck. As if that wasn’t horrifying enough, add the appearance of a malicious ghost of a teen girl.
When the ghost warns that if her murder isn’t solved by Homecoming, more people will die, Rachel realizes the only way to get back to her perfectly ordered life is to accept some help. But at what cost?
They’re all keeping secrets
Daniel, the bestie computer nerd
Kyle, the hunky crush.
Nisha, the smartest girl in school.
Just about every resident of Danby Cove.
The truth will always come out
With their assistance, Rachel will have to use every skill she’s learned from her true crime podcasts to solve the cold case. To uncover secrets. But she begins to fear her own long held secret will finally unravel.
Even if the cost is your life
