The third book of the Ghost Roads series returns to the highways of America, where hitchhiking ghost Rose Marshall continues her battle with her killer—the immortal Bobby Cross.
Lady of shadows, keeper of changes, plant the seeds of faith within me, that I might grow and flourish, that I might find my way through danger and uncertainty to the safety of your garden. Let my roots grow strong and my skin grow thick, that I might stand fast against all who would destroy me. Grant to me your favor, grant to me your grace, and when my time is done, grant to me the wisdom to lay my burdens down and rest beside you, one more flower in a sea of blooms, where nothing shall ever trouble me again.
Rose Marshall died when she was sixteen years old and on her way to her high school prom. She hasn’t been resting easy since then—Bobby Cross, the man who killed her, got away clean after running her off the road, and she’s not the kind of girl who can let something like that slide. She’s been looking for a way to stop him since before they put her body in the ground.
But things have changed in the twilight world where the spirits of the restless dead continue their “lives.” The crossroads have been destroyed, and Bobby’s protections are gone. For the first time, it might be possible for Rose to defeat him.
Not alone, though. She’ll need every friend she’s managed to make and every favor she’s managed to add to her account if she wants to stand a chance…and this may be her last chance to be avenged, since what is Bobby Cross without the crossroads?
Everything Rose knows is about to change.

      Rose Marshall, who has been a hitchhiking ghost since she was run off the road by Bobby Cross on the way to prom in 1952, finally has her chance at revenge. Now that the crossroads are dead, Bobby is no longer protected by his bargain with them. Rose is not the only one who wants Bobby gone--the queen of the routewitches goes so far as to arrange to meet Rose at a neutral location (a diner, of course) to ask her to kill Bobby Cross. The death of the crossroads has done more than make Bobby vulnerable, though. Rose feels responsible for protecting her niece, who was forced into a crossroads bargain of her own. Then there's the small matter of her boyfriend, who never got over her untimely death and now travels the twilight as a car so that he can spend eternity with her, which is a little awkward. Rose is a great character, never taking the easy way out, and fighting more and more for some measure of choice about where she goes next. McGuire, as usual, does a stellar job of taking a piece of familiar folklore and making it into a new, many-faceted thing.
