Summary:

SOME LOVES ARE MEANT TO BE... OTHERS ARE CURSED.

There were no surprises
in Gatlin County.
At least, that’s what I thought.
Turns out, I couldn’t have
been more wrong.
There was a curse.
There was a girl.
And in the end,
there was a grave.

Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin
has ever seen, and she’s struggling to conceal her power and a curse
that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the
overgrown gardens, murky swamps, and crumbling graveyards
of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.

Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape
from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never
met. When Lena moves into the town’s oldest and most infamous
plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to
uncover the connection between them.

In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

Doesn't that look fabulous? The setting alone has me itching to turn the pages. I don't know about you, but I know what I'm reading over Christmas break. Well, more like what I'll be reading when I'm supposed to be studying for finals and wrapping up end of semester projects.

December seems so far away...
