Alyssa Edwards | 7 comments One of the stories takes place in a beach town where the girl is scared of the dock shed because she's psychic and gets a bad feeling from it, there's some confusion with the word "wake" as in the wave and "awake". In another one, the girl at one point uses a pendulum to communicate with a spirit of some kind, and [[spoiler]] she ends up communicating with a deceased relative who she is the reincarnation of and the main love interest is her adopted cousin or something. The book was pretty thick and I think I remember the cover being blue with a key on it.

Becca (beccalikesbooks) | 5545 comments Dark Secrets 1 by Elizabeth Chandler? It's a two-in-one edition of Legacy of Lies and Don't Tell, so it's only two stories, not multiple, but the cover matches:
Dark Secrets 1 (Dark Secrets, #1-2) by Elizabeth Chandler
and I think the stories do too. This is from Don't Tell:
"It's not Sondra. It's just a wake."
As soon as I said a wake, I realized my mistake. I quickly rephrased it. "It's the waves from a boat, a passing boat." I wondered if that was how these imaginings had started - someone saying it was "a wake" and Nora, haunted by the death of my mother, twisting the words in her mind.

Legacy of Lies is the one with the cousin / reincarnation story.
