Dancing with Ghosts Emily Gillespie

Freshman year of university was supposed to mean freedom.

It was supposed to be her escape from parents who didn't understand her -- who turned Patricia away every time she reached out for help. New city, new school, new friends, fresh start - Wasn't that how it's supposed to work?

Instead, when Patricia moves from her small, isolating hometown to bustling, sprawling cityscape of Toronto, she finds herself more alone than ever. When she meets Derek -- and intriguing yet mysterious classmate -- she's instantly drawn in by his worldly knowledge and easy charm.

For a while, things between them are perfect. For a while, it's thrilling being invited into a world, unlike anything Patricia's experienced before.

But this isn't a love story, and not everyone is what they seem.
