Summary: Jake Livingston is one of the only black kids at St. Clair Prep, one of the others being his infinitely more popular older brother. It’s hard enough fitting in but to make matters worse and definitely more complicated, Jake can see the dead. In fact he sees the dead around him all the time. Most are harmless. Stuck in their death loops as they relive their deaths over and over again, they don’t interact often with people. But then Jake meets Sawyer. A troubled teen who shot and killed sixteen kids at a local high school last year before taking his own life. Now a powerful, vengeful ghost, he has plans for his afterlife–plans that include Jake. Suddenly, everything Jake knows about ghosts and the rules to life itself go out the window as Sawyer begins haunting him and bodies turn up in his neighborhood. High school soon becomes a survival game–one Jake is not sure he’s going to win.
When THE TAKING OF JAKE LIVINGSTON first popped up on our Twitter feed, we were instantly intrigued and excited. A gripping YA about seeing spirits? Sign us the heck up! I'm not normally a huge fan of paranormal or scary stories, but after reading the summary for this one, I just found myself really compelled to find out what happens, and therefore added the book to my TBR. July can't come fast enough! And also don't forget to be on the lookout for our 2021 debut author interview with Ryan Douglass, coming soon!
