Silence by Michelle Sagara

The haunting beginning to Michelle Sagara's young adult paranormal trilogy, Queen of the Dead.

It began in the graveyard...

Ever since her boyfriend Nathan had died in a tragic accident, Emma had been coming to the graveyard at night. During the day she went through the motions at her prep school, in class, with her friends, but that's all it was. For Emma, life had stopped with Nathan's death. But tonight was different. Tonight Emma and her dog were not alone in the cemetery. There were two others there--Eric, who had just started at her school, and an ancient woman who looked as though she were made of rags. And when they saw Emma there, the old woman reached out to her with a grip as chilling as death....

Emma was not quite like other girls. It was true that other girls had experienced grief. Other girls had also lost their fathers, or had their boyfriends die in senseless accidents. But though she hadn't known it till that night in the graveyard, unlike those other girls, she could see, touch, and speak with the dead....
Praise for Michelle Sagara's Queen of the Dead series:

It's rare to find a book as smart and sweet as this one
-Sarah Rees Brennan, author of The Demon's Lexicon

In Touch, Sagara paints an eerie and original picture of the afterlife.... Beautifully written, with characters so real-even the dead ones-they could be any of us, Touch is an exceptional addition to a powerful series. Don't miss this.
-Julie Czerneda, author of A Turn of Light

Brilliant storyteller Sagara heads in a new direction with her Queen of the Dead series. She does an excellent job of breathing life into not only her reluctant heroine, but also the supporting players in this dramatic and spellbinding series starter. There is a haunting beauty to this story of love, loss, and a teenager's determination to do the right thing. Do not miss out!
-RT Reviews (top pick!)

For all that this is a novel deeply concerned with loyalty, with healthy friendships, and with human decency, it doesn't hesitate to wrap cold fingers around your spine and yank when the moment calls for it. Sagara's characters are believable, flawed, and very human, and make for compelling reading. -Tor.com
