Book ID/图书代码: 11701213B63418
English Summary/英文概要: The rusted, wrought-iron gates had been wrenched open and pushed against pared hedges that no longer languished across the garden wall. The ivy above the doorway had been cut away to reveal a bright red door and freshly painted wooden boards. Even the air, usually dense and stifling, was light and buzzing with possibilities.
…I moved to continue on my way but something inside was stopping me, welding me to the ground and fastening my legs beneath me. Suddenly, my body was burning and the longer I stared at the house the more I felt it. I didn’t know what I was looking for but I knew in that moment there was something inside waiting for me. Something that belonged to me. Hovering on the edge of a place that seemed to have nothing and everything to do with me all at once, I felt my heart race beneath my chest.
Sophie Gracewell is in the middle of another long, slow summer in the Chicago suburbs when a strange new family of five brothers moves into the long-abandoned Priestly mansion. Irresistibly drawn to bad boy Nic Falcone, Sophie finds herself falling in love, and into his world. But as the dark secrets of the Falcone brothers are unearthed, Sophie’s own family skeletons start to come to life, until she must choose between heart and blood in a fight to the death.
This seductive debut combines romance, danger and intrigue in a compelling narrative that YA readers will be powerless to resist.
