A novel by Kira Wren
The dead mother haunting eight-year-old Owen may be the only thing keeping him alive.
Mina Kagura’s first serious paranormal client wants his late wife gone. Fourteen months after Laura’s death, doors slam, family photographs are damaged, his fiancée is shoved hard enough to bruise, and Owen wakes to find his mother beside his bed.
Laura looks dangerous. She is also trying desperately to keep something away from her son.
Mina has no intention of removing a ghost simply because the living are afraid of her. With Kyubi''the tiny, talkative nine-tailed fox who once tried to eat Mina and now follows her everywhere—she starts testing what actually happened.
The evidence points in two directions. Laura’s grief, jealousy, and harmful choices are real. So is another presence reaching for Owen through the thresholds of his own home.
Mina must protect a child without excusing what his mother has done—and help a grieving family discover whether loving the dead and moving forward have to mean the same thing.
An eerie, warm paranormal mystery about responsibility, grief, and the increasingly unlikely partnership at the heart of Mina’s new life.
