About this ebook

She’s about to enter a world she never knew existed.

Seventeen-year-old artist, Erin Van Horn, accepts a dare from her best friend, Tori, and wins a coveted spot as an exchange student at a prestigious Tokyo academy. Once in Japan, Erin struggles to learn the culture and deal with her quirky host family, whose son is an Elvis impersonator.

To make things even more challenging, Tori snuck a crazy to-do list in her backpack. All she has to do is find a rock star boyfriend, apprentice under a famous Japanese artist, and visit Tori's long-lost relatives to find out what's hidden in the family closet.

But Erin has a much bigger problem than her host family or Tori’s to-do list. From the very first day she set foot in Japan, a ghost has been following her. It repeatedly whispers a message, “Stop it!” But what is she supposed to stop? The ghost won’t tell her. Now what is she supposed to do?

Ratings and reviews

Erin wins a scholarship to Seda Academy in Japan for a year. She ends up with a very unusual host family and many weird things that happen in her first month there. This first book is mainly about the people she meets and her school life. I did laugh out loud when she washes her clothes. I received an arc and the views and opinions are my own.

It was a refreshing take on a ghost story. I like all the details about Japan and Japenese culture. I like that the story essence is from a youthful perspective. I like the human emotion that plays out through the story.I like that it is somewhat of a mystery with a ghost that hasn't revealed itself in the first book. It definitely will be the next book in future.

so Cool!!! I have always wondered what it would like to be an exchange Student in Japan. it made me feel the struggle and challanges of being an American in Japan. can't wait for more

About the author

Karin De Havin’s love of reading fantasy, supernatural, and paranormal stories merged with her life when I began writing action-packed stories with kick-ass heroines who love showing villains who’s boss. This was inspired by her former life when she worked as a designer in one the toughest industries around—the fashion business—where bosses eat designers for lunch. She’s proud to say she’s still standing and the only asses I kick now are in my stories.

Karin De Havin is known for her unique books that explore celestial worlds, time travel with a Victorian genie, follow the life of a human chameleon, attend the Genie Academy class of 1890, and travel to Tokyo and learn that ghosts are real. Writing is Karin's dream job.
