Description
From the bestselling author of The Face on the Milk Carton: A thrilling novel about a girl whose obsession with a mysterious boy could destroy them both.
When shes callously kicked out of choir class, Nicoletta dreads having to take art appreciation instead. Then she sets eyes on Jethro, a new kid whose dark beauty makes her wish she actually knew how to paint. Nicoletta is so mesmerized she finds herself following the brooding, mysterious stranger home. At least, thats where she thinks hes going ...
In the safety of the woods, Jethros power seems to surge, almost as if the trees and boulders of the forest rise up to greet him. Hes so different, so beautiful, so ... inhuman. Before long, Jethro becomes Nicolettas obsession. And while the truth about his nature is terrifying, Nicoletta may already be in too deep.
By turns alluring and unsettling, this novel from the author of the Janie Johnson series is unafraid to explore the stranger things in life.
