World Building

World

The world is based in Hope’s Memorial Medical Center where Dr. Julian Wilson works as a therapist. The book changes from First Person POV journal entries to the Third Person POV of Dr. Julian.


Plot

Dr. Julian Wilson can see ghosts and sadly unlike a lot of people, he calls this gift a curse. He hates seeing ghosts except for one, Missy, a ghost from the 1960s who is learning new things about the present year every day. But after some time there are more deaths throughout the city and the murderer can’t be caught. So Julian needs to use his curse to figure out what’s happening to the city, along with some of the ghosts and some of the most unlikely people.
