Such an engrossing read! Beautifully written, with a seductive storyline that weaves between high fantasy and realism. A novel that gives us ancient, star-crossed love and raw, young desire. I note that this is categorised as 'YA crossover' as the are some very sensual, very arousing love scenes.
Sixteen year old Jenny moves to small town, Kincasey, a result of her parents' marriage problems. She is a pit of resentment, an innocent victim in the wake of her parents' failings. Being the new city girl in town was always going to be difficult. Then Jenny meets the Webster boys Michael and Gabe, and their highly unusual sister, Caitlin. As though driven by fate, she becomes indelibly involved in their lives and the strange change and awakening of Michael under the protective, obsessive watch of Caitlin.
