Ruined: A Novel by Paula Morris (author) (US edition)

Rebecca couldn’t feel more out of place in New Orleans. She’s staying with her weird, tarot-reading aunt in a really creepy house. And at the snooty prep school, a pack of filthy-rich girls treat Rebecca like she’s invisible. Only gorgeous, unavailable Anton Grey gives Rebecca the time of day. Then one night, among the oak trees in Lafayette Cemetery, Rebecca makes a friend: sweet, mysterious Lisette. There’s just one catch. Lisette is a ghost. A ghost with a deep, dark secret and a serious score to settle. As Rebecca is drawn into a web of old curses and cryptic customs, she uncovers startling truths about her own history. Will Rebecca be able to right the wrongs of the past – or has everything been ruined beyond repair?
