Summary:
His love captivated her... his secrets might kill her. 
Since her sister’s mysterious death, Persephone “Phe” Archer has been plagued by a series of disturbing dreams. Determined to find out what happened to her sister, Phe enrolls at Devenish Prep in Shadow Hills, Massachusetts—the subject of her sister’s final diary entry. 
After stepping on campus, Phe immediately realizes that there’s something different about this place—an unexplained epidemic that decimated the town in the 1700s, an ancient and creepy cemetery, and gorgeous boy Zach—and somehow she’s connected to it all. 
But the more questions she asks and the deeper she digs, the more entangled Phe becomes in the haunting past of Shadow Hills. Finding what links her to this town…might cost her her life.

You always have such interesting books you're waiting for. My to read list keeps growing! That's a good thing, except that I'll never catch up, lol!

Jenni - I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes it seems that for every book I manage to check off my TBR list, I add two or three. Unless I end up stranded on a desert island with a magical, fully-stocked library someday, I'm fairly certain I won't ever have time to catch up. What I wouldn't give for Hermione's time turner. ;-)

Rose - Doesn't it look great?! Your WoW pick (Paranormalcy) is also on my wishlist! :)
