About This Book

The air tingles with a strange chill as a whispered spell slips from Kate's lips, and then odd things start happening—like shadows that stretch too long and whispers that seem to follow Patti everywhere. Suddenly, what began as a silly joke feels a little too real, and Patti wonders if her luck has truly turned for the worse. With every unlucky moment, friendship is tested and mysteries deepen.
