4One, two, the ghosts are coming for you... Three, four, better salt your door... Five, six, death and hatred mix... Seven, eight, help will come too late... Nine, ten, never reap again... Seventeen year old Mattie Hathaway has enough on her plate without having to deal with the latest teenage ghost drama. The ghosts of eight murdered girls are out for her blood. They blame Mattie for their deaths. She has to figure out what happened to them before they make sure she ends up just like them...dead and angry. Not only that, but she has to face the greatest fear of her young life, the death of the only person she's ever loved. Can she let nature take its course or will she interfere and cause the balance of life and death to spiral out of control? She's out of time, and doesn't know if she should trust Silas, the demon who has taken a very disturbing interest in her, or her father, a man just as evil as Silas. Either way, she has to make a choice. But what will it cost her and those she loves?
