Where Dead Bodies Lie (The Body Dowser Series #1)

I’m not normal. I see the darkness hidden amongst the light and the decay amongst the beauty. Haunted by the death of her father and her own unsettling ability, Stella Monroe keeps to herself, homeschooled for most of her high school years. Not until her senior year, does an opportunity to apply to college force her to return to the prep school that expelled her during freshman year for her body dowsing ability. But while completing community service to clean up her school records, Stella begins to feel the pull of Kaff Cooper’s mysterious ways. If only he didn’t want her. Didn’t follow her. Didn’t show her the truth. If only fear wasn’t a four letter word. Then again, so is love.

“ For as long as I can remember, I have been told to follow three important rules; Always guard my ability Never share my secret And pretend to be normal. However, those three little rules don’t make my life easier. I still find dead people and deal with strange visions. Not to mention, an attraction to a boy who doesn’t exist. Whenever we cross paths he mists away like smoke on a mirror. He drives me crazy, that Kaff Cooper. As a flock of dead crows fall from the blackened sky, Kaff becomes the only one who can see the truth straight to the dark underbelly of who I actually am. My hands feel the pull to extract the forsaken, the lost, the forgotten. It comes as naturally as breathing and there is no stopping it.”
