"I was really hoping we'd have books out at the same time again." 

Charlotte Curran is about to release a new book and will do anything to make it a bestseller, like kill her best friend and renowned author, Kim Lavoie. She starts seeing Kim everywhere she goes, realizing the hauntings are more than just her guilty conscience. 

This is a fast paced novelette that holds your attention from start to finish. It is well written and Marceau manages to create a sense of dread in only 62 pages. This isn't in your face horror, but a light horror that is simple, yet effective. 

I really enjoyed the concept of this story that I wish it were a novel to further flesh things out and create more tension between Charlotte and Kim. It was definitely a fun, quick read! 

How far would you go for fame?
