Summary

Description:
She woke up in the body of a dead girl — and the family who killed her was still in the room.

For years, she'd drifted through the village as a nameless ghost, watching everything, remembering everything. When Lucy Chen's abused body gave out at last, the ghost slid in and took over. What followed was swift, satisfying, and very loud.

But there's a madwoman living in the ruined temple on the hill, clutching a rag doll and calling out a name that feels disturbingly familiar.

And somewhere in the ghost's scattered memory, something is starting to surface.

*Ghost Girl* is a darkly funny, surprisingly tender supernatural story about revenge, justice, and a mother's love so fierce it bent the rules of death itself.

Some women refuse to let go of their daughters. Even death isn't convincing enough.
