Lexi is the only person who knows the grim secret of her best friend, Jane. She knows the truth behind Jane’s near-fatal “accidents” – why she swallowed drain cleaner, grabbed a live wire, almost threw herself under a moving train and most recently, aimed a nail gun at her own head. People in Jane’s community think that she tried to kill herself on these occasions, but Lexi knows better. Jane’s shadow has been trying to kill her. More than once, it has pushed her into danger. In the most recent incident, there were a few seconds before the doctors could bring Jane back to life. During those seconds, she could sense a malevolent “something” waiting for her in the darkness. What did it want? Now Jane wonders if she is being haunted by a force from beyond the grave – a force which may have taken over her shadow. Then Jane crosses paths with a real-life serial killer, and her next “accident” is far more horrible than anything she could have imagined. Graham McNamee’s skillful mix of the real and the paranormal makes this dark horror thriller truly terrifying. As the tension builds, it is almost impossible to put the book down – or to stop thinking about the story when it’s over!
