What happened to Shelby Gray was ruled an accident. But no one knows the real story, and Iylah Maddox is happy to leave it that way. A year later, family friends beg Iylah to watch their teen son Cole for the night. Iylah can barely accept – what if the same thing happens to Cole? She convinces herself that she should at least try. Maybe it’s really over. She’s made so much progress toward being normal again. Then the board game appears. Four sides, a sleek black tower, and a single die. It’s a game she’s seen just a handful of times before, and one that fills her with dread. Iylah and Cole have no choice but to roll and face what comes next. The game won’t let them leave. Won’t let them cheat. Won’t stop terrorizing them until they just finish. As the night progresses, Iylah knows for certain that this time, it’s different. The girl that created the game is punishing her for what happened at her 19th birthday party. Their 19th birthday party. The danger is real. Her sister’s fury is real. Iylah needs to figure out what to do to stop her before Shelby Gray isn’t the only dead teen she’s responsible for. Transpiring over both one night and ten years, Josephine’s Game is heart-pounding, paranormal suspense about making mistakes, sibling rivalries, and learning to say you’re sorry.
