by Melissa HoltzWhen a fortieth birthday celebration leads to a ghostly visitor, four friends find themselves navigating surprising mysteries and spiritual hijinks, in this clever debut from Melissa Holtz.Alyssa Mann isn&’t adventurous, not since her husband died and she found herself the single mom of a teenage daughter.

It&’s all fun and games, until she wakes up the next morning with a wicked hangover—and a ghost perched on the edge of her bed.Sheer panic sends her running to get help from Nick West, the (very attractive) detective who lives next door.

As the dearly departed keep appearing, Alyssa and her friends do their best to learn how to control her newfound power. Trading insults with ghosts, tracking down family heirlooms, and getting closer to the skeptical but helpful Nick is more fun than Alyssa imagined.
