Publisher Description
Living in the aftermath of the Event means that seeing the dead is now a part of life, but Veronica wishes that the ghosts would just move on. Instead, the ghosts aren't disappearing-they're gaining power.
When Veronica and her friend, Kirk, decide to investigate why, they stumble upon a more sinister plot than they ever could have imagined. One of Veronica's high school teachers is crippled by the fact that his dead daughter has never returned as a ghost, and he's haunted by the possibility that she's waiting to reappear within a fresh body. Veronica seems like the perfect host. And even if he's wrong, what's the harm in creating one more ghost?
From critically acclaimed Generation Dead author Daniel Waters, comes a delectably creepy and suspenseful thriller. Break My Heart 1,000 Times will leave readers with the chills. Or is that a ghost reading over the page? Adapted as the feature film I Still See You starring Bella Thorne.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ever since the mysterious "Event," which instantly killed millions of people worldwide, ghosts have been appearing like clockwork brief, repeating images of the dead doing everything from visiting libraries to eating breakfast. Veronica's father is one such ghost, and the high school sophomore takes comfort in seeing him every morning, even if he is just as uncommunicative as the other ghosts. Veronica's history teacher, Mr. Bittner, also has ghosts on his mind his late daughter isn't returning as one and his unhinged wife has been goading him into killing teenage girls for their daughter to "possess." After multiple failed attempts to bring their daughter back, they set their sights on Veronica. Veronica's friend/romantic interest, Kirk, and her ghost-obsessed English teacher also get drawn into the plot, and it soon becomes clear that some ghosts might be able to interact with humans after all. Even knowing early on who the sinister players are in Waters's (the Generation Dead series) story doesn't dissipate its tension (Waters gets some good twists in there, too). There's ample creepiness in this supernatural thriller to keep readers invested. Ages 12 18.
