When Emma Vaile's parents leave on mysterious business trip, it gives her the perfect excuse to be a rebellious teen. Throw some parties, get a tattoo (or maybe just a piercing), and enjoy the first few weeks of her junior year. Then her best friend stops talking to her, the cops crash her party, and Emma finds herself in the hands of a new guardian-her college-age "knight in J.Crew armor," Bennett Stern-and on a plane to his museum-like mansion in New England. After enrolling at Thatcher Academy, Emma settles in by making friends with the popular legacy crowd. But she can't shake the strange visions that are haunting her. She has memories of Thatcher she can't explain, as if she's returning home to a place she's never been. Emma doesn't trust anyone anymore-except maybe Bennett. But he's about to reveal a ghostly secret to Emma. One that will explain the visions . . . and make Emma fear for her life.

Deception

After learning that she is descended from a legendary ghostkeeper, Emma faces terrible forces as she tries to dispel Neos, find her family, and discover a way to be with Bennett without either of them losing their powers.

Betrayal

After a devastating battle at headquarters in New York, the ghostkeeping world is in shambles. When Emma and Bennett return home, they are determined to defeat the wraithmaster, Neos, forever. But it's not going to be easy. Bennett's parents kick him out when they realize he is still using drugs to enhance his powers. Emma is convinced her aunt has come back from the dead to warn her of a new threat. And worst of all, Neos is using wraiths to possess the students at Thatcher Academy. If the ghosts manage to take over the entire school, even Emma won't be strong enough to stop them. But if either she or Bennett sacrifice his or her powers, they might be able to save the ghostkeeping world once and for all-and break the "ghostkeepers lose their powers when they fall in love" curse. The question is: who will be the one to surrender all power? Fast-paced and romantic, this conclusion to the Haunting Emma trilogy will thrill readers as it brings the ghostly mystery to a close.

APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT Name: Elle Medina Marital Status: I'm separated from my fiancé. Occupation: He was a highly paid attorney. Employment History: You mean mine? Technically I haven't exactly worked before. But I'm motivated and I work well with others. Most others. Usually. Career Goals: I thought I was happy with Louis, but now I'm not sure. Ever since he dumped me for some floozy, I've been thinking I should find out what I'm good at and pursue it in a formal job-type way. Salary Requirements: I need my own apartment (currently staying on friend's sofa) and a car. And I've always wanted a dog. Oh, and I definitely need a shopping trip. Elle Medina must be qualified for something other than shopping and causing trouble, but when she moves to Santa Barbara after the end of her engagement, what she's suited for isn't clear. Bartender? Private eye? Phone psychic? It seems like everything she tries ends in humiliation or legal action—or both. Her best friend is getting sick of her, her new boyfriend's a con artist and her creditors are on her trail. So why is this the happiest Elle's been in years?

Het enige waarin Elle Medina héél erg goed is, is shoppen... met de creditcard van haar vriendje. Helaas blijkt deze goudmijn ineens getrouwd te zijn, dus zit er voor haar niets anders op dan haar dertien koffers te pakken en in te trekken bij haar vriendin Maya, in zonnig Santa Barbara. Vastbesloten nu echt iets van haar leven te maken, neemt Elle zich voor snel een goede baan, een leuk appartement én een geschikt vriendje te vinden. Helaas blijkt dit lastiger dan ze dacht - vooral doordat ze niet over bruikbare vaardigheden beschikt, geen enkele winkel voorbij kan lopen en het liefst een man heeft die het verschil ziet tussen Prada en Valentino. Terwijl ze het ene na het baantje verprutst - van winkeldetective tot telefonisch medium - probeert ze te kiezen tussen Joshua (die alles weet van Prada!) en Merrick (die ondanks zijn rode haar erg leuk is). Ondertussen doet ze ook nog auditie als paaldanseres en moet ze voor de rechter verschijnen omdat ze een uitsmijter zou hebben aangevallen. En tot overmaat zitten haar schuldeisers haar op de hielen en moet ze noodgedwongen in een roestige oude caravan gaan wonen. Maar zo gemakkelijk heeft Elle niet op. Want langzaam maar zeker ontdekt ze dat ze in één ding echt kan uitblinken: zichzelf zijn! Dit verhaal is eerder verschenen onder de titel Shoppen of stoppen.
