Dead Resonance

Songs the Dead Play: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Keith Brannagh survived one ghost. He's not sure he survived intact.

Two months after Beatrice, he's still transcribing her song and trying to convince himself that nothing followed them out of the auditorium.

Something did.

Something tied to a brass angel that keeps appearing where it shouldn't, to a lake at the edge of the neighborhood, and to a history of drownings no one talks about. When it sets its sights on Alice's best friend, the person who believed in them when no one else did, Keith realizes that surviving wasn't the same as winning.

And to win, he'll have to play the song again. All the way to the last note.

Dark, tense, and emotionally honest. Dead Resonance is book 2 of the Songs the Dead Play duology, best read after Play for the Dead.

Author

Neva Cross writes stories about the spaces between the living and the dead: the longing, the dread, and the music that bleeds through the cracks. She has a weakness for Victorian portraits, candlelit stages, and protagonists who hear things they shouldn't, see things that aren't there, and fall in love at precisely the worst possible moment.

When not writing, she can be found wandering fog-soaked moors in search of ghosts, or inspiration… whichever arrives first.

Songs the Dead Play is her debut duology. She is already listening for what comes next.
