To help pay for college, a Chinese American girl who can see spirits must put aside her aversion to her magic & team up with the ghost of the newly dead, infuriatingly attractive golden boy from school—before he fades forever.
Cara Tang
Cara’s just trying to stay on top of all her classes, excel at her extracurriculars, and prepare for college—which means not speaking to the dead, an ability she inherited from her grandmother. Ghosts are trouble, and Cara doesn’t need to add the problems of the dead to her own.
But then she stumbles upon the body of the newly dead golden boy in the woods (as one does), and guess what? He wants her to resurrect him.
Cue trouble.
Zacharias Coleson
The golden boy of Autumn Falls: rich, captain of the swim team, and with an ego bigger than his trust fund (which is saying something). Has a car so he can drive you anywhere you want (including up the wall!).
Such a shame about his personality, though.
Zach and Cara, drawn by Nica Galvez.
Sad Zach and Cara, drawn by Juliana.
