Description: Lucy Ashford thinks the black notebook is a joke right up until the signs of death start appearing on her own face. By the time she accepts the truth, it is already too late: she has written her own name into a Death Notebook, and her lifespan is running out fast. The notebook is tied to a deadly occult scheme, a smug vampire named Adrian Crowe, and a role Lucy never asked for-becoming the public face of death itself. With only hours left, Lucy teams up with her sharp-tongued, battle-ready friends Sophie Sterling and Morgan Vale to find any loophole that might keep her alive. Instead, their desperate search drags them into a nightmare in the countryside, where eighteen-year-old Ethan Miller's family is hiding a brutal crime, hungry ghosts stalk the roads, and an old grave has turned something hateful loose. What begins as a race to break Lucy's curse becomes a fight against vengeful spirits, possession, blood-soaked folk rituals, and the laws of the underworld itself. And when the bailiff finally comes to claim her soul, Lucy is forced to do the one thing more dangerous than chasing ghosts-run from death. For Lucy, every minute matters. Because if she can't uncover the truth in time, she won't just lose her life. She'll lose whatever comes after it too.
