The Dead Ones

Three years ago, Bonnie Bromley's brother killed eighteen people in a school shooting. Today, Bonnie's life is a nightmare, with the entire town having turned on her family. As the date of her brother's execution draws closer, however, Bonnie discovers that a dark presence has arrived in town to feed on the souls of the dead.

Determined to make sure that no more lives are lost, Bonnie desperately tries to warn people that they're in danger. When she's ignored, she realizes that she's powerless to help, but an unexpected visitor offers a glimmer of hope. Who is the mysterious Hannah, and can she find a way to boost Bonnie's chances? Or is the entire town about to fall victim to a terrifying force of evil?

Intense

Lots of ghosts, the problem is who are the ghosts. It's a whirlwind of confusion and scares. The ending is quite a cliffhanger.
