A haunted spaceship. A missing sister. A thrill ride that will leave you breathless.
Absidy is a ghost magnet, a sensitive person spirits flock to when they can't cross over. After her brutal past, she spends her reclusive existence melting iron into bite-sized pieces. Whether ancient paper clips or nails, consuming iron is the only thing that keeps the ghosts away.
But when Absidy's sister goes missing in deep space, Absidy vows to find her. She boards the first ship she can - a ship that turns out to be haunted.
To keep the malicious ghosts from killing her, the alluring bad boy pilot gives her a small bundle of all the iron on the ship. But their growing relationship is tested with the crew's prying eyes and hidden secrets.
While the ship sails into deep space, it's not just her sister's life that Absidy fears for. It's her own, as well. Especially since her stash of iron has shrunk to zero.

Haunted Stars Series

I took everything apart with the ice pick in the kitchen and pantry, then loaded my pockets with screws and washers from hinges of cabinets, an old coffee maker, the remaining nails in what used to be the table that I hadn't already taken, anything that had iron in it, whether it was alloy or wrought. Everything was pretty much still operational as long as the new coffee maker didn't break any time soon. And doors on cabinets weren't all that important anyway. 


Each piece I found had been rust-proofed with a waxy substance that had most likely been spray-bombed on every surface during this ship's yearly inspection. My ice pick made quick work of it, though. 


But I still didn't have enough to make the trip to deep space.
