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!

Castles are so exciting for settings. I love mysteries and have seen this book reviewed before and have it on my to-read list.
Sara · August 18, 2016 at 10:40 am
Castles, mystery, and a hint of romance. I’m in. Finger’s crossed for the giveaway. 🙂

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!
Dianne Gardner · August 18, 2016 at 11:54 am
Sounds intriguing! Love castles and dinner theaters.
Raimey Gallant · August 18, 2016 at 12:35 pm
There are so many reasons why I want to read this.
P.D. Pabst · August 18, 2016 at 12:46 pm
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?
Debbie Hunter · August 18, 2016 at 12:46 pm
I would love this for our YA collection at the library
Katie · August 18, 2016 at 2:00 pm
Sounds like great fun!
Diana DeBolt Johnson · August 18, 2016 at 2:41 pm
I want to work in a castle and solve a murder…er…read about it anyway.
Melody Chan · August 18, 2016 at 3:21 pm
MFA in costume design. Ah. I understand the SCBWI gala now. Impressive! 🙂
Kate · August 18, 2016 at 3:54 pm
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 🙂
Laurie · August 18, 2016 at 5:52 pm
Looks like lots of neat elements in this book! Hope I win.
Gaye Sanders · August 18, 2016 at 7:08 pm

This sounds like fun. Looking forward to knowing more about the “embarrassing psychic gift”.
Katherine · August 18, 2016 at 9:24 pm
Wow! What a job!
Caron Jantzen · August 18, 2016 at 9:35 pm
Humor, a heartthrob, and a disappearing body all in the confines of a castle. Sounds like a delightful story.
Kaitlin D'Souza · August 19, 2016 at 12:49 am
Sometimes I wish I was cool enough to work at a castle…
