Ein falscher Schritt, ein stechender Schmerz und die New Yorker Ballerina Sylvie muss mit gerade siebzehn Jahren ihren Traum vom Tanzen aufgeben. Als ihre Mom bald darauf heiratet, steht Sylvie vor dem Zusammenbruch. Zur Erholung wird sie ausgerechnet zur Familie ihres verstorbenen Vaters nach Alabama geschickt. Im Süden angelangt, findet sich Sylvie auf dem ehemals prachtvollen Herrensitz Bluestone Hill wieder – und begegnet den verfeindeten Jungen Rhys und Shawn, zu denen sie sich merkwürdig, fast magisch hingezogen fühlt.

Maggie Quinn was expecting to find plenty of trouble with Lisa over Spring Break. South Padre Island! Give a girl a bikini, a beachfront hotel, and an absent boyfriend, and it’s as good as a road map to the dark side. And Maggie and Lisa plan to enjoy every bit of it--just like nice, normal college freshmen. Fire, brimstone, and demonic sorority these ladies are officially off the clock. But Maggie doesn’t have to go looking for trouble. Trouble has started looking for her. One dead cow and a punctured gas tank later, she and Lisa are stuck in Dulcina, Texas—a town so small that it has an owner . And--you guessed it--lately life in this small town hasn’t been all that peaceful. An eerie predator is stalking the ranchland. Cattle are dying mysteriously, with strange bite marks on their hides. And judging by the rising body count, whatever's doing the killing is getting bolder by the day. Everyone in town has a theory, but not even Maggie’s psychic mojo can provide any answers. And the longer the girls are stranded, the more obvious it becomes that something is seriously wrong. Only no one—not even Maggie’s closest ally—wants to admit that they could have been forced on a detour down the highway to hell. It looks like fighting evil isn'at a job with vacation time."A first-rate mystery."-- School Library JournalFrom the Hardcover edition.
