The Whispering Dark

Lane has always talked to the dark. She just never expected it to talk back. When Delaney 'Lane' Meyers-Petrov is assigned to Godbole University's controversial new-age programme, she must learn to channel her uncanny abilities to cross between worlds. A chronic people-pleaser, she'd be a model student if it weren't for the course's capricious Teaching Assistant, Colton Price, who seems determined to despise her. But Colton has a secret: when he was nine years old he died. Quite impossibly, he woke moments later at the feet of a green-eyed little girl. When she told him to live, he obeyed. Now, twelve years later, that same girl - Lane - has stumbled back into his orbit. But Colton's been ordered to keep far away from the new girl and her ghosts. The day a former Godbole student turns up dead, Lane and Colton form a tenuous alliance, plummeting down a rabbit-hole of deeply-buried university secrets. When something old and nameless takes root in Lane's bones, they're left scrabbling to exorcise the entity before it tears her -and their forbidden partnership - apart. With the body count steadily growing and Lane's soul on the line, they discover the deadly toll of leaving the space between worlds open for too long . . .
