Release Date: 05/04/15
304 pages
Summary from Goodreads:
One year ago the Event swept through the world and wiped out the entire adult population. Now all the children are alone and fending for themselves.
Everly Hilton can see ghosts. Bridging the gap between the living and the dead, there are so many departed adults she can barely handle her ability.
With winter approaching, Everly can't fight the dead any longer. She has to listen to the ghosts in order to understand what caused the Event and help keep the children alive.
What she doesn't realise is that her association with the spirits runs far closer to home than she could ever imagine.

Excerpt:
“I haven’t seen you around here much,” she continued. “I stay close to
this place. There’s safety in numbers, right?”
“Right. It’s important to stay safe,” I replied.
She repositioned herself, moving her feet from under her to sit
cross-legged. As she did, her boot grazed my leg. I felt it. She was real.
“Sorry.”
“It’s okay.” Now I knew she was alive, I could think more clearly. “How
old are you?”
“Eleven. How old are you?”
“Seventeen.”
She nodded, like she should have guessed it already. “Do you know what
they’re going to do once the food runs out? I mean, it’s gonna happen soon.”
“No, I don’t know.”
“I’ve heard of a few people that live in the countryside. They have a
garden so they will never run out.” She stared into space, lost in a memory.
“Gardens used to be so pretty, didn’t they? My mama kept a garden. Roses,
daisies, so many pretty things. Now all we have are pretty ghosts.”
She wasn’t the first kid I’d seen driven mad by the Event.
Nor would she be the last.
About the Author:
Jamie was born into a big, crazy family of 6 children. Being the youngest, she always got away with anything and would never shut up. Constantly letting her imagination run wild, her teachers were often frustrated when her 'What I did on the weekend' stories contained bunyips and princesses.
Growing up, Jamie did the sensible things and obtained a Bachelor of Business degree from Southern Cross University and worked hard to gain her membership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.
Yet nothing compared to writing. Quitting the rat race to spend quality time with her laptop named Lily, Jamie has written several novels and screenplays. Spanning a number of genres and mediums, Jamie writes whatever inspires her from ghost stories to teenage love stories to tantalising murder mysteries. Nothing is off limits.
A self-confessed television addict, dog lover, Taylor Swift fan, and ghost hunter, Jamie loves nothing more than the thrill of sharing her stories.
