"SPOOKED. had me at the edge of my seat! Perfect for readers who like their suspense delivered with a side of snark." Marni Bates, Author of AWKWARD and DIAL EM FOR MURDER
"In Rosengard's new-adult debut novel, a college student searches for the person responsible for her best friend's death--with a little help from a familiar ghost.[...] [T]he author's grasp of Callie's first-person voice is sensational: The teenager endlessly debates with herself and harps on her own shortcomings, such as her tendency to distance herself from potential friends and romantic interests. She does acknowledge and work on overcoming her weaknesses, though--and readers will definitely see her virtues even when she doesn't." - KIRKUS REVIEWS (Spooked.)
