The dead need him.

Seventeen-year-old Alex McKenna is a transgender boy who comes from a rich history of Strega witches. Possessing the ability to communicate with the dead, he uses his talents and understanding of what it means to be different to bridge the gap between the living and the beyond. With his girlfriend Margaret and his spirited great-grandmother by his side, Alex helps lost souls resolve their earthly connections and move on.

When a series of murders plagues his neighborhood, Alex discovers the gruesome truth behind a sixty-year span of deaths and the sinister being responsible.

Will Alex save the next victim and stop the murderer for good? Or will this be his final case?

Excerpt

The shadow slowly turned its attention to Alex. He stood tall, not showing the fear that was ravaging his body.

“Alex, be careful,” warned his mom.

“It’s okay.” Alex stood firm.

The dark figure let out an ear-piercing screech, and Alex buried his head in his jacket. Again, it changed its focus and twisted toward the back seat of the car—Wilby. It held the statue down toward the earth, and the car started to rock back and forth.

“Wilby!” his mom screamed as she struggled to break free.

Alex’s heart pounded; the death freeze of the dark spirit was coming, and it was very close.

“Ma, that thing is summoning the beast!” Alex’s voice dripped with fear.

“Alex, I don’t know what to do. I can’t move. Is Wilby still sleeping?”

“Yes.”

“Good.” She wiped her upper lip with her sleeve. “What if he wakes up?”

The vibration in his front pocket distracted him. Alex slipped out his phone; his gram’s picture lit up like a beacon.

“Gram, we’re in trouble,” Alex whispered.

“I know. Listen carefully, Bonzetta. Tell your mother we are going to use the prayer of light. I will do what I need from here.”

“What do I do?” Alex’s palms dripped with sweat from anxiety, and he nearly dropped the phone.

“Just repeat what we say, okay?”

“Okay.”

He didn’t want to shout their plan, so he texted it to his mom. “Ma, look at your phone.”

She slipped it out of her purse and read the message. Then, nodding in agreement, she waited.
