Melissa Blair
Seventeen-year-old Wade isn’t sure she’ll ever be ready to lead her Anishinaabe community. Not the way her grandma did. If she's too afraid to speak in front of a crowd, how is she supposed to carry on her family’s legacy?
Forced to grow up at residential school, Cheesh knows little about Nish life by the time she’s seventeen. And after she’s cruelly murdered at the school, she realizes she knows even less about Anishinaabe death.
Then a doorway between their worlds opens, and Cheesh ends up stuck in the land of the living, where only Wade can see her. Maybe guiding Cheesh back to her ancestors is the way Wade honors her family’s name?
But when Indigenous teens in their town start turning up dead, the girls discover so much more is at stake. Will they find the strength to stop even more bloodshed, or will evil win . . . again?

Reviews
★ "Striking the perfect balance between an engaging plot and the exposure of all-too-recent colonial wrongs, this is a critical purchase for both school and public libraries." —School Library Journal, starred review
"You had me at ‘two teen girls (one is a spirit) team up in search of a killer.’ This novel sings and brought me to tears!" —#1 New York Times bestselling author Angeline Boulley
“Incredible and heartfelt, When Evil Lingers explores real history that haunts many Native communities while uplifting the resiliency of Anishinaabe people and traditions. Melissa Blair has written another page-turner that is a must-read thriller.” —Vanessa Lillie, bestselling author of Blood Sisters
“Melissa Blair has crafted a strikingly beautiful and haunting thriller about two teenage girls fighting the lingering evils of colonialism, with a sweeping queer love story, too. I was hooked from start to finish and moved to tears by the perfect ending, and haven’t been able to stop thinking about this book since. Whatever genre you typically read—you should read this book.” —Jordyn Taylor, USA Today bestselling author of The Paper Girl of Paris
“When Evil Lingers is an emotional, page-turning story about grief, identity, and the generational traumas that get passed down when ugly histories are covered up. Haunting and thrilling, it is also a book about love and hope, the beauty and power of language and storytelling, and how evil may linger but good will persevere. I couldn’t put it down!” —Mia P. Manansala, award-winning author of Death in the Cards
