Monique thought "spooky" was an aesthetic. Black lace, graveyard strolls, a nice collection of vintage occult junk. Turns out it was a warning label.One stupid dare one night alone in a cemetery and she wakes up more than she bargained for. Not just a ghost; that would be easy. Something older is stirring under the soil, something that noticed her. And when she gets home, her own shadow won't stop talking. It wears her face, knows every ugly thing she's buried, and it is delighted to help.Now there's a secret government agency watching her, texts arriving from a number that shouldn't exist, and an infuriatingly hot boy from school who might have been sent to handle her- or stop her. Monique just wanted to prove she could spend one night alone in the dark.She proved something. She's just not sure it was the point. Tl;dr: Monique Duvall takes a bet. She probably shouldn't have. But hey , what could one night on the graveyard possibly change? (Title and Cover may be subject to change, Currently under revision ) Writeathon complete.
