(Edward Ware Thrillers YA, an imprint of Cheops Books, LLC April 20, 2016)
Cissy is not the most popular girl in the senior class. That honor belongs to Regina Simpson. The wall flower on the night of the big school party ends up inviting other losers like herself to a consolation party at her house.
Suddenly the lights go out. Sirens wail down the street. The radio announcer comes on and proclaims that Regina Simpson has been killed at the big dance. How did it happen? Her dress caught fire . . .
That night when Cissy goes to bed she pauses for a minute at her vanity and looks deep into her eyes. She catches sight of two flames, shake her head, and goes to sleep.
But when she wakes up and looks into the mirror again she sees not her old self, her old face, but the dead girl Regina Simpson.
