Roommates can be hell.Like when they're late with the rent, late on bills, or constantly trying to kill you.Jonah Preston thought he knew what he was getting into after signing the paperwork to buy his new home: yardwork, a leaky pipe here and there, maybe the occasional squirrel in the attic. He just didn't expect to share that new home with a ghost.Before all the boxes are unpacked, Jonah learns the previous owner, Willard Hensch, committed suicide in one of the bedrooms. It's bad news, but Jonah and his (corporeal) roommate, Max, take it in stride. Jonah's just happy to own a home and begin this new chapter in his adult life.Unfortunately, it's an incredibly short chapter.Unhappy with his new roommates, the resident ghost quickly makes his presence known. Like, really known. When Jonah wakes up dead, he knows exactly who's behind it. Willard. Effing. Hensch.For the newly deceased Jonah, that's where his new chapter truly begins. He will befriend angels, fight demons, and take on a ghostly army in this comic-paranormal thrill ride through the freakish underworld of Austin, Texas.

New in town and navigating the complexities of Alder High (go 'Varks), Geoff Smith might be a little more comfortable with a guitar in his hands than with a conversation. His father, a professor, and collector of magical oddities, is a local goth hero, but that doesn't exactly boost Geoff's popularity. However, his dad's latest find, a mysterious book of spells, might be the key to winning a seemingly impossible bet with his crush, Corinne. In a whirl of notes and lyrics, Geoff unknowingly strums a cursed tune. Suddenly, his low-key life hits a high note as the melody weaves its magical chaos throughout the school. The world becomes a stage, and the students its unknowing actors. Caught in the spell's limelight, Geoff must face the music. With the stakes escalating, he has to navigate his feelings for Corinne, dodge the ominous shadow of a bike-rack bully, and find a way to break the spell before his final curtain call. Can Geoff turn the tables, win the girl, and restore harmony? Or will he learn the hard way that in magic, as in music, everything has its price?
