P. J. Night writes this new series- Creepover. The top and bottom of each page is dripping in black ‘blood’ (it is printed only in black and white, after all) or perhaps paint.

It all begins with Abby and Leah grocery shopping for their sleepover. The sleepover is in the basement with scary DVDs and a game of “Truth or Dare”. Abby reluctantly reveals she like Jake, the boy who lives a cross the street. Then the other girls coax Abby to text Jake. Later that night, Abby is awakened when her cell phone receives a message saying, “LEAVE HIM ALONE. HE’S MINE!!! DON’T MAKE ME TELL YOU TWICE!” (32) All the girls are creeped out by the text. It sounds like it was sent by Jake’s former girl friend Sara, who was killed in a fatal crash. The text must be a mistake or a prank.

Back at school, the first dance of the school year is announced. It will be a benefit for the Sara James Memorial Scholarship Fund. Jake and Abby walk home from school and he asks if she’d like a ride to the dance. “Yes.” Awhile later, Abby sees a girl with long red hair running, could it be Sara’s ghost? Later the new blouse Abby plans on wearing to the dance is ripped and stuffed under her suitcase, but how? Abby Googles* “proof of ghosts” (76). She find an article on-line entitled- “When the Paranormal Gets Personal” (76). Though Abby does not want to believe in ghosts it is hard not to with all the creepy things happening to her lately. Plus, her best friend is not supporting her in this.

Abby and Jake do go to the dance, but leave almost immediately when Abby can’t handle the huge photo of Sara displayed at the dance. Jake follows her out of the gym. Abby shows Jake the texts. Jake has Abby text, “IS THIS REALLY SARA? PROVE IT!” The text comes back, “I’M @ ST. RAYMOND’S CEMETERY. COME SEE ME IF YOU DARE!” (122)

Spoiler alert: it is not Sara, but Sara’s cousin, Samantha, who is staying with her aunt and uncle while Samantha’s mother is working in Africa. Samantha’s and Sara’s resemblance is so great Aunt Stacy is having a hard time dealing with it. Samantha spends most time of her time in Sara’s old bedroom out of Aunt Stacy’s sight. Samantha is miserable. Eventually Samantha goes through all of Sara’s things including her diaries.

In the end, all of the creepy things resolve themselves, except one. Is it from Sara?

• Abby does attempt a seance in chapter 8.
