Keeper
by Kim Chance
When we first meet Lainey Styles, she's studying for the SAT at a comic book event. She has humored her friend Maggie by going with her, but she truly doesn't understand the appeal. All Lainey can think about is college, and getting out of this small town. But when she meets Ty, suddenly things start to change.
Lainey starts seeing ghosts. One ghost in particular. A young girl, covered in blood, and wearing a green, stone pendant. When the girl calls her name, Lainey is sure she's losing it.
Soon Lainey realizes that there is something else going on here. Someone is trying to warn her that she's in danger. And what does Ty have to do with it? Can Lainey and her friends figure it out in time? Suddenly, she's not so sure that that SAT prep book is going to help her at all. She might need some different kind of skills to prepare for what's coming next!
I loved this story and have added it to my book order for the library. Chance does a great job at balancing the suspense with the romance in a way that will appeal to both boys and girls. There is some violence, but it is mild enough for me to put in my middle school library. I'm looking forward to the next installment of Lainey Styles' story!
