Death Becomes Her
by Ina Harrington
Dark academia paranormal murder mystery with magic, ghosts, and horror
ABOUT THE BOOK
A spine-tingling urban fantasy murder mystery filled with dark secrets, restless ghosts, and a touch of slow-burn romance from the independent author Ina Harrington.
Rose Walker has always been able to see the dead.
Determined to leave that part of her life behind, she accepts a scholarship to Banecroft University in England, far from her small, judgmental Colorado town. No one there knows about her gift—or the past she’s desperate to forget.
But when Rose’s roommate, Eleanor, dies under mysterious circumstances, her new beginning shatters. Haunted by Eleanor’s ghost and missing memories from the night of her death, Rose doesn’t know if her friend’s spirit seeks answers—or revenge.
Desperate for the truth, Rose teams up with Dawn, a fellow outcast with a knack for solving mysteries, and Val, a dangerously charming Mage Seeker who forces her to question everything she thought she knew about her abilities, and herself. But when another student is attacked, it’s clear that Eleanor’s death is just the beginning, and time is short.
In this supernatural mystery of self-discovery, first love, and ancient magic, Rose must face the hardest question of all:
Was it my fault, again?
Death Becomes Her is the first novel in the Death’s Legacy series, perfect for fans of Ninth House, A Discovery of Witches, and Supernatural.
Praise for Death Becomes Her
★★★★★ A fast-paced, twist-filled fantasy that kept me hooked the whole way through. The writing is immersive, and the story constantly kept me guessing. – Goodreads Reviewer
★★★★★ It’s one thing to be able to emulate real-world experience through writing and another to make real the unreal. To die, to be haunted, to experience the paranormal. All of these sensations are brought to life, giving me chills and goosebumps along the way. – Goodreads Reviewer
★★★★★ Once I hit the 50% mark, it was like a rollercoaster of a story. I’m interested to see where this series goes. A couple of the chapters had me like “whoaaa” because I wasn’t expecting them – Goodreads Reviewer
