Lenore almost had everything she wanted. In just a few short months, she'd graduate early from high school, start an internship at her father's new startup in San Francisco, and then head off to college in the fall on a full scholarship. Everything was planned. Everything was perfect. Then her estranged mother challenges her father for custody, and Lenore has to leave it all behind. Now she's forced to move back to the boring town of Eden--a place that Lenore had promised herself she'd never return to--and try to pick up the pieces. Her mother is still distant. The rumours of her sudden departure--and her aunt's crime--still swirl. Nothing in Eden is as perfect as it seems... Except for maybe a sweet, bright-eyed boy named Victor, who takes a shine to her. And Lenore begins to wonder if she might get what she wants after all... Until Victor goes missing. And he's not the only one... RANKING --- #1 in #Necromancer #2 in #ParanormalRomance
