  Sixteen year old Taylor Oh is cursed: if she is touched by the ghost of a
  murder victim then they pass a mark beneath her skin. She has three weeks to
  find their murderer and pass the mark to them – letting justice take place and
  sending them into the Darkness. And if she doesn’t make it in time? The
  Darkness will come for her…
  
  
  She spends her life trying to avoid ghosts, make it through school where she’s
  bullied by popular Justin and his cronies, keep her one remaining friend, and
  persuade her father that this is real and that she’s not going crazy.
  
  
  But then Justin is murdered and everything gets a whole lot worse. Justin
  doesn’t know who killed him, so there’s no obvious person for Taylor to go
  after. The clues she has lead her to the V Club, a vicious secret society at
  her school where no one is allowed to leave… and where Justin was dared to do
  the stunt which led to
