The Body Finder - Paperback

by Kimberly Derting (Author)

The first book in the Body Finder series from Kimberly Derting is equal parts friends to lovers romance and paranormal mystery.

Sixteen-year-old Violet is hiding two secrets. The first is her confusing new feelings for her childhood best friend Jay. The second is her unusual ability to sense the dead...and the people who killed them. Violet has never considered her morbid ability to be a gift, but when a serial killer begins terrorizing her small town, she realizes she may be the only person who can stop him in this young adult thriller.

Ever protective of her, Jay agrees to help Violet search for clues. As they hunt for a killer, a task filled with supernatural suspense, they realize their emotions for each other have changed. But as they fall in love, Violet is also getting closer and closer to discovering the killer...and becoming his prey herself.
