Kristin Faraday has a power. A terrible power. Her ability to sense when people are lying has always set her apart from her friends in the suffocating town of Winterhaven. When the mysterious Mrs. Norton and her family come to town, Kristin discovers the horrifying truth: they’re not human. They feed on humans. Kristin’s darkest secret, a “gift” from Mrs. Norton herself, holds the key to her survival and the survival of everyone she loves. With the help of her only two friends, Kristin must unravel the twisted secrets of Winterhaven before it’s too late. Having just finished this novel, I immediately took it upstairs to my 13-year-old stepdaughter and said, ‘You have to read this!’ She gave me a quizzical look and I said, ‘Yes, it is THAT good!’ – Can’t Put It Down Reviews And as for Gideon…well, can I say how much I love it that the obligatory one-way swooning is Kristin’s love for Gideon, rather than Gideon’s love for Kristin? Or that the elements that keep them apart are explained by stuff that happens in the story? Again, I can’t tell you too much about this; the fun of seeing the authors’ meticulous plot unfolding around you like a fantastically good piece of origami is just too good to ruin. – Adventures in Trash Reviewed on Can't Put It Down Reviews : "Having just finished this novel, I immediately took it upstairs to my 13 year old stepdaughter and said, 'You have to read this!' She gave me a quizzical look and I said, 'Yes, it is THAT good!'" Reviewed on Adventures in Trash : "It's hard for a YA novel to have scenes which are genuinely chilling to an adult reader while remaining age-appropriate, but this book pulls it off. Like all truly great horror writing, the writing takes us right up to the edge of the terror and then tantalizingly pulls away again, leaving just enough detail for the reader to fill in the blanks with awful stuff."
