When a sixteen year-old girl with an embarrassing psychic gift she can’t control takes a job at a castle-turned-dinner theater, all she wants is the chance to wear a fancy gown and ogle her crush from afar, but when she stumbles over a dead body that promptly disappears, she must prove she didn’t hallucinate a dead girl before the killer strikes again.

This sounds like a lot of fun! I would have loved working in a castle as a teen. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I have a theater background too! I bet the costuming experience renders knock out texture and color in this novel!
This book sounds fascinating!
KC has such a fun personality, I can only imagine that her writing would be just as wonderful. I’d love to win a copy.
Best,

Castles are so exciting for settings. I love mysteries and have seen this book reviewed before and have it on my to-read list.
Castles, mystery, and a hint of romance. I’m in. Finger’s crossed for the giveaway. 🙂
Murder mystery set in a Medieval Times?! I would love to read this!
Your book sounds awesome. Would love to read it!
Is that crush in shining armor?
Is that castle set atop miles of misty moors?
Do the dinner guest have to eat without utensils?
I want to know more!
What a great sounding story! I also worked in a castle when I was younger. They say 3rd floor was haunted so I never went up there! Spooky. Love the cover! Can’t wait to read this book!
Sounds intriguing! Love castles and dinner theaters.
There are so many reasons why I want to read this.
This sounds like a great read! I mean, castles and murders and possible hallucinations are perfect. Plus, it’ll be interesting to learn what about her psychic abilities she finds embarrassing. Oh, I hope there are secret passages too! Did K.C. base the setting off the castle she previously worked in?
I would love this for our YA collection at the library
Sounds like great fun!
I want to work in a castle and solve a murder…er…read about it anyway.
MFA in costume design. Ah. I understand the SCBWI gala now. Impressive! 🙂
Comment Great premise! As a recovering actor, I can taste the dinner theater setting — fertile ground for great characters, a few laughs and a history mystery. Look forward to reading…can even imagine a TV series 🙂
Looks like lots of neat elements in this book! Hope I win.
Want to read this for sure!
Can’t wait to read this!
This sounds like fun. Looking forward to knowing more about the “embarrassing psychic gift”.
Wow! What a job!
Humor, a heartthrob, and a disappearing body all in the confines of a castle. Sounds like a delightful story.
Sometimes I wish I was cool enough to work at a castle…
