When student journalist Emma goes undercover to investigate a secret society resurrecting long-dead literary icons, she expects to discover nothing more than a group of college girls with Ouija boards. What she doesn't expect is to accidentally summon the spirit of never-quite-famous poet, Nathaniel Harker.

Now, Emma's got a brooding, besotted nineteenth-century poet following her around. But whilst initially determined to write the article of a lifetime, she quickly discovers that the lure of her very own love-struck tortured poet is hard to resist...

However, as they fall for each other, Emma realizes the sorority sisters are onto her ghostly secret. It's up to her to keep her poet safe no matter what the cost--but will protecting Nathaniel also mean losing him forever?

Wednesday meets Mean Girls in this quirky, gothic, dark academia spooky romance.
