Sixteen-year-old Jolie Livingston’s closest and only friend Drew is this really hot dead guy, and it bites that the self-absorbed princesses at school cannot even see him. That’s right she can communicate with the dead. It’s the living she has trouble with. She and her mom inherited this awesome crib in Plymouth, MA. It’s quite a step-up from the homeless shelter in New Orleans, but there’s a catch. They can’t afford the past due mortgage, so Jolie’s working on that.

Jolie starts a ghost hunting business called Ripsters. Somehow she’s managed to recruit Brittany, a glamour SAP smothered in pink, and a techie allergic to ghosts. Brit actually thinks he resembles the R&B singer Chris Brown. All that pink has clouded her vision. They both have special talents Jolie’s hoping will be useful to their venture. Right now, they’re working for a family in need of major therapy due to a dead guy with a hole in his head.

Hayden, a really cute guy, who lost his Wiccan mother, wants to join them, but Jolie’s grandmother warned her about his kind. Not that it matters. Jolie seriously doubts a living guy as hot as Hayden will be interested in a girl cozy with the dead.

Excerpt
If it isn’t bad enough that I’m the new girl at Plymouth High, my closest and only friend is this really hot dead guy. No one else can see him except me, but it would be so nice for the other girls to trip in their Jimmy Choos while he holds my hand.

Drew, the dead guy, chatters more than the self-absorbed princesses at school—better known as SAPs. It’s like having a leaky faucet you can’t turn off, and sometimes like now, I just lose it.

“Shut up!” I scream, slamming my locker shut.
