The Innocent's Story by Nicky Singer

When Cassina and her sister Aelfin are blown-up in a railway station bomb, life as Cassina knows it is over. Except that she doesn’t die. She becomes a para-spirit – a presence that can live in other people’s minds. She can see what they see, feel what they feel, but they have no idea that she’s there.

Hovering in her dead sister’s head is awful. Riding in the minds of her grieving parents is not good. And crouching in mad Aunt Lou’s brain is definitely disturbing. But Akim’s head – her murderer’s head – well, that’s a dangerous place to be. Cassina knows he’s going to do something appalling, worse even than before. And it’s up to her to stop him – but how?

Filled with drama, this book is one I would definitely recommend although the ending felt very implausible.
