SIXTEEN SOULS

Sixteen Souls

In York the hunted are being haunted...

When sixteen-year-old seer Charlie Frith realizes dark forces have taken one of his ghostly friends, he must put aside his reclusive existence to protect them from a fate worse than death.

He teams up with Sam Harrow - the new seer in town - and a rag tag group of spirits to unearth the chilling purpose behind the disappearances.

As Charlie's romantic feelings develop for Sam, he will have to risk his life and his heart if he is going to save the afterlife.

‘I never have a problem screaming about books I genuinely love, and I love this book. The author’s ability to evoke entire settings with minimal details is just amazing. The writing is rich; the characters sharply drawn. Welcome to the world, Charlie Frith – I can’t wait to watch other readers fall in love with you. The only thing that made me scream louder than this book was finding out there will be a sequel.’
