All families have secrets, but what Avery doesn't know might try to kill her.

The day Avery Belmont was born, her father disappeared. Shortly after, her mother stole her away to Detroit, far away from the secrets buried deep in Shady Creek. But when her estranged grandmother dies, Avery is forced to return and face the rumors that she's a witch, making her wish she'd never come back-until Drew Montgomery gives her a reason to stay.

Drew knows things no one else knows. Things about Avery, about her family's past, and about what really happened to her father. However, the price for information may be too high as getting close to the striking, yet caustic Drew starts to have deadly consequences, and living with the lies may be safer than uncovering the truth.
