He's persuasive, charming, and way too mysterious. And for Samara Marshall, her co-worker is everything she wants most—and everything she most fears. . .
Samara Marshall is determined to make the summer before her senior year the best ever. Her plan: enjoy downtime with friends and work to save up cash for her dream car. Summer romance is not on her to-do list, but uncovering the truth about her flirtatious co-worker, Caleb Baker, is. From the peculiar glow to his eyes to the unfortunate events that befall the girls who pine after him, Samara is the only one to sense danger behind his smile.
But Caleb's secrets are drawing Samara into a world where the laws of attraction are a means of survival. And as a sinister power closes in on those she loves, Samara must take a risk that will change her life forever. . .or consume it.
"Jaime Reed breathes fresh life into paranormal romance. I loved it!" —Lee Nichols, author of the Haunting Emma series

Gr 8 Up-Biracial Samara works at Buncha Books, where a girl making out with coworker Caleb one minute collapses in the parking lot the next. Caleb has these amazing purple eyes and Sam finds herself curious, but he's got girls throwing themselves all over him, and then there's the matter of girls suspiciously having heart attacks. What is going on? What's going on is an entirely new world-no vampires or zombies but, instead, inner demons. Reed knows how to write dialogue, and Sam's spunky, sarcastic voice keeps the action moving forward. The world Reed has created is somewhat farfetched, yet believable, and there are some fun twists. The novel explores issues of self-control, peer pressure, and relationship boundaries amid drama in the human and paranormal worlds, and when Sam's eyes turn green at the end of book, teens will want the next installment in the series immediately.-Amy Cheney, Alameda County Library, Oakland, CA
