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

The smell alone made me want to turn back, so I breathed into the crook of my elbow until I was almost positive I wouldn't puke. 


Ica had painted the entire hallway black with her smoke. It clung to the walls and ceiling in concentrated shadows. Not even the sunlight outside the doors at the end of the hall could penetrate it. It took a few seconds - precious seconds where I thought every coiled tendril of smoke was Ica coming toward me - for my eyes to adjust to the dark. With the alarm still crashing between my ears, I wouldn't even be able to hear her approach. 


But when I could kind of see again, I found the hallway empty. She was prowling through the other halls then, with smoke curling out of every hole in her ex-news reporter face to smother the entire school the same color as her soul. Searching for me? Or playing a deadly game? Knowing her, probably a little of both.
