Edie knew this was the end of the line. One step off the bridge would take her from
the misery of her current life to a world of nothingness. But someone else has another plan for Edie…
Going to a private school, Edie Kramer knows the difference
between her and the Teflon crew – those gorgeous and popular students everyone
loves and wants to be like. But one day
would change Edie’s life. What they did
to her was unforgivable and if Edie could teach them a lesson she would. But really, what kind of lesson could she,
Edith Kramer, science nerd extraordinaire, do to Cameron, Allie and rest of the
crew? Riddled with pain and a sense of
complete loneliness, Edie has made her decision to jump, until Kian guides her
down and gives her an intriguing option.
Edie can’t believe a guy like Kian would even care about
her. He is one of those guys who turns
girls, and even women’s heads, because of his unbelievable looks. Why would he be so interested in her? When he tells her why he’s there, she can’t
believe it’s real. She gets three favors
to use within five years and in return…she will owe three favors. After going through every possible situation
trying to debunk Kian’s offer, Edie realizes he’s offering her the truth and
once she agrees, a sign is burned onto her wrist. She now belongs to the firm of Wedderburn,
Mawer & Graf. And revenge is fresh
in her mind…
Going through a complete physical transformation, Edie returns
to Blackbriar with a different mindset and agenda. Beyond beautiful, she starts a new year at
high school slowly working her way into the Teflon crew to make them pay. But terrible things begin to happen to them –
coincidence or not? On top of it all, she
begins to see horrible entities…a crazy man who wants to grab her only to disappear;
three dark creatures who watch her from the street. Then Kian tells her the other truth. Edie is now a pawn between two evil entities,
but why? And what’s the outcome for them
both when there isn't a good side to help?
Ann Aguirre delivers a dark novel of love, revenge and
survival in her latest. She fills the
pages with fantastically evil creatures the reader must guess at if they’re human,
chimeras, or real monsters; what a shift in paradigm or reality. The strength of the main character, Edie,
derives from the fact that although her façade changes, who she is doesn't,
which puts her and the plot into a juxtaposition. Part reality, part fantasy, this book is full-on amazing and will read fast.
Recommended for high school.
