About You're Dead to Me, Reed Walker

A swoonworthy YA supernatural romcom where two academic rivals are trapped as ghosts to haunt the same house. They'd kill each other...if they weren't already dead. Tessa Sinclair is a winner. Winner of spelling bees, science fairs, and scholarships. So when she finds herself unexpectedly dead after a graduation party in an abandoned mansion, she's none too pleased. What's worse, her Harvard-bound, Mr. Perfect academic rival, Reed Walker, is there too―deceased, smug, and annoying as hell. Being a ghost is hard enough, but it's a thousand times worse having to haunt the same house as your nemesis. But as Tessa and Reed retreat to RIP in their respective corners of the mansion, a mystery unfurls about the exact cause of their deaths. Though they'd rather die (again) than work together, they'll need to overcome their differences to hunt down a murderer on the loose. And should they happen to fall for each other along the way...Who ever said you can't find love after death? *** Booklist Review, September 2026: "The tonal resonance of the narration adds depth to the emotional pain and regret of young lives cut short. The paranormal, mysterious elements are a backdrop to the thought-provoking narrative highlighting unfulfilled potential. While there are sweet moments brought to life by Cross and Reno, behind the rom-com cover this story is a deeply sad and unfiltered introspection on mortality. A good choice for fans of Holly Jackson, Keshe Chow, and Celeste Dador."
