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

Until these new concepts of freedom and fearlessness wrapped themselves around my brain, I couldn't part with the little iron I had left. I'd transferred it to a napkin and tucked it inside my pants, but my mouth watered for it. Every time I patted it, my insides squirmed. Just as I attracted ghosts, iron attracted me. 


But I was still alive, even without it. The ship had been strangely quiet since Mase's brain-scrambling performance, which worried me. I wore a target on my back with no iron, and it felt like the entire ship held its breath, waiting for the right time to strike me down. Maybe it would happen at seven o'clock tonight. Maybe it would happen in minutes. Maybe I could ready myself somehow if I could stop fidgeting and pacing. Of course, if something did happen, I would throw the iron back in again.
