One town's secret. One girl's transformation. One love's to burn forever. Seventeen-year-old Jess Flowers sees the killer in visions. He's a shadow, stalking Salt Creek, striking down the helpless, slaughtering with fire and lightning. After she finds the bloated body of a teenage victim at Whispering Falls, Jess fears the vision of her own violent death will come true. To survive, she must learn to control the newfound powers surging within her. Jess is the new kid in Salt Creek, an isolated town in rural southern Ohio with a ferociously guarded secret: A handful of locals have been granted skills that seem to defy the laws of physics. Billy is the gorgeous outcast with an unsettling past. He's the only one willing to explain Jess' transformation, and the only one capable of stealing her wounded heart. As the body count ticks higher, a growing pile of evidence links Billy to the crimes. Is he guilty? Her heart says no, but Jess doesn't have much time to piece together the clues and identify the killer before it's her turn to die.
