When Callie's life is cut short by a tragic accident, she expects to find nothingness, or maybe some version of heaven.

Instead, her spirit travels to the Prism, an ethereal plane populated by the ghosts she thought were fictional. Here she meets a striking and mysterious ghost named Thatcher, who guides her as she learns to haunt and bring peace to those she left behind.

However, Callie uncovers a dark secret about the spirit world: The angry souls that always populate ghost stories are real and willing to do whatever it takes to stay on Earth, threatening the existence of everyone she ever cared about.

As she fights to save her best friend and her boyfriend, Callie will learn that while it may no longer beat, her heart can still love--and break.

Ashes to Ashes is Melissa Walker's sweeping, romantic, and emotionally rich story about the things that torment and tempt us, even from the Great Beyond.
