Secrets and Keys

by Heather Grey, Shelby Brennan (Editor), Michelle Wise (Editor)

One day was all it took for Erin’s ordinary life to turn upside down. Twice. She had good friends, family who cared for her, and even a boyfriend. Things were good, until her sixteenth birthday. Overcome with a strange illness that left her cold, panicked, and doing strange things- like enjoying the taste of her boyfriend’s blood- Erin fled. She left behind everything she had ever known, afraid of what was happening to her. Years passed, Erin living with the burden of no friends, no family, no boyfriend, and a strange new appetite for blood. The only thing keeping her alive and as sane as any teenager could be was the fact that she had somehow attained the ability to control the people around her. That did not stop Erin from moping in her misery. One day, control slipped from her, a strange gut feeling telling her to go to town. It was there that they found her. It was there that her secluded, secret life that she had grown accustomed to ended.Reunited with her past, Erin must face the present. New friends help Erin learn of the world she joined years ago. There is something they hold from her though, and Erin is determined to find out what that is. As her world gets darker, Erin learns that her first love had been cursed as well, set out to destroy her kind. The more she learns about threats in her world, the more Erin begins to realize she is at the center of it all. But why?When a trip to find a key to reverse the curse is arranged, nothing can stop Erin from sitting back as told, as her newfound friends and family take a journey that could cost them their lives. Will they find the key in time, or will they be too late?
