Zoe Goodwin lived a rather normal life right up until her death. Drowning was a rather unpleasant experience, but it was nothing compared to the afterlife. Or rather, the In Between. Finding that she is only mostly dead, her spirit sticking around, she is forced to find an energy source or she'll die for real. And no one wants to die. Teaming up with Louisa and Gareth, young mediums - or witches, she enters the dreamscape and begins her search for the perfect source. 

Will she feed on joy or sadness? Fear or love? Will she be a reaper? Or a muse. These are the questions she must answer, and quickly. For time is running out, and she does not want to fade away. 

Her search for a source leads her to one other shocking discovery: people are dying, and they are dying early. Who is behind this and how can they be stopped? She wants to help, but first she must stay alive. Or... somewhat alive.
