It had been one year since it had started... One day I was normal, and the next I was answering people's thoughts, instead of their words. Soon enough, I learnt how to make out what was voice and what was thought, so I didn't accidentally answer the wrong one anymore, and by that, end up in a sticky situation, like I had many a time before I'd learnt the difference... Only I didn't just hear what others were thinking - as if that weren't already bad enough as it was. No, I could also make them think, or even forget things.

The darkness of the night hides a grisly truth: love is a bloodbath.
When I met him, I was thirteen.
He was my first boyfriend – and, if he had his way, he would also be my last.
His name is Thomas, and ours was an unusual relationship. Tom was, after all, a ghost, and I, Kelly Crow, was the girl in charge of sending people like him on their way to their next life, heaven, hell or what-have-you; a job which would pass on to someone else when I turned seventeen.
But I dumped him. Charming as he can be, nothing could ever change the fact that he was dead and, well… I wasn’t. We were doomed from the start.
Now, the week before I turn seventeen, things are getting scary.
Tom is back, and knowing my days as a Hunter are counted, he is determined to do anything necessary to not let my seventeenth birthday come around, which will make all ghosts invisible to me.
Try as I might to get through to him that the way to my heart isn’t through violence and threats, he somehow is convinced that if he kills me, we’ll be a happy ghost couple and I’ll ride off with him to his delusional, blood-filled sunset.
He is determined to disregard my caveats that I wanted him out my hair by turning the small town of Sonora into a living hell, and stopping at nothing to get what he wants: me. Dead. Just like him.
Obviously that’s not going to happen.
