Marc said he heard the dark song when he creeped houses. The
song the predator's heart sings when it hears the heart of the prey. I
heard it now. Marc said it had always been in me. Lurking. Waiting for
me to hear.Ames is not the person she was a few months ago. Her father lost
his job, and her family is crumbling apart. Now, all she has is Marc.
Marc, who loves her more than anything. Marc, who owns a gun collection.
And he'll stop at nothing--even using his guns--to get what he wants.
Ames feels her parents have betrayed her with their lies and
self-absorption, but is she prepared to make the ultimate betrayal
against them?
The Body Finder (The Body Finder #1) by Kimberly Derting
Violet Ambrose is
grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret
ability. While the sixteen-year-old is confused by her new feelings for
her best friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her "power" to
sense dead bodies—or at least those that have been murdered. Since she
was a little girl, she has felt the echoes that the dead leave behind in
the world... and the imprints that attach to their killers.
Violet
has never considered her strange talent to be a gift; it mostly just
led her to find the dead birds her cat had tired of playing with. But
now that a serial killer has begun terrorizing her small town, and the
echoes of the local girls he's claimed haunt her daily, she realizes she
might be the only person who can stop him.
Despite his fierce
protectiveness over her, Jay reluctantly agrees to help Violet on her
quest to find the murderer—and Violet is unnerved to find herself hoping
that Jay's intentions are much more than friendly. But even as she's
falling intensely in love, Violet is getting closer and closer to
discovering a killer... and becoming his prey herself.
