Leigh Baxton is scared her mom will come back from the dead - just like the prom queen did.

While the town goes crazy over the news, Leigh bikes to the local cemetery and buries some of her mom's things in her grave to keep her there. When the hot and mysterious caretaker warns her not to give gifts to the dead, Leigh cranks up her punk music and keeps digging.

Two dead sorceresses evicted the prom queen from her grave to bury someone who offered certain gifts. Bury them alive, that is, then resurrect them to create a trio of undead powerful enough to free the darkest sorceress ever.

With help from the caretaker and the dead prom queen, Leigh must find out what's so special about the gifts she gave, and why the sorceresses are stalking her and her sister. If she doesn't, she'll either lose another loved one or have to give the ultimate gift to the dead - herself.

The Grave Winner Series

I jerked awake with a gasp. Sunlight striped the mermaid bedspread through the window blinds. I sat up, the haze of sleep lingering in my brain, and looked around. Darby wasn't there. After untangling myself from the covers, I stood and opened the door. 


"What?" Her voice echoed from across the hall inside the bathroom. 


I pressed the side of my face against the wood of the door, relief flooding to my toes. "Just making sure." 


My gaze slid down the hallway to the living room. "Just making sure." I could hardly hear my own words as my feet followed my stare. Rounding the corner, I stood face to face with the front door. The white-painted wood seemed to dare me to open it, narrowing its engraved rectangle eyes at me. I twisted the doorknob. 


Swallowing hard, I nodded. That was the way it had to be. Even so, spikes of trembling fear stabbed through me. I grabbed hold of the screen door handle for support.
