Description
A sea-ravaged tale of melancholic beauty and the choices one girl makes between land and waves, love and freedom, her future . . . and her heart.
Lexi is cursed with a dark secret. The water calls to her, draws her in, forces her to sing her deadly song to unsuspecting victims. If she succumbs, she kills. If she doesn't, the pain is unbearable. To keep herself and those she cares about safe, she shuts herself off, refusing to make friends or fall in love-again. Because the last time she fell in love with a boy, he ended up dead.
Then Lexi finds herself torn. Against her better judgment, she's opening up again, falling in love with someone new when she knows she shouldn't. But when she's offered the chance to finally live a normal life, she learns that the price she must pay to be free of her curse is giving him up.

Person
Mandy Hubbard grew up on a dairy farm outside Seattle, where she refused to wear high heels until homecoming-and hated them so much she didn't wear another pair for five years. A cowgirl at heart, she likes riding horses and four-wheelers and singing horribly to the latest country tune. She is the author of the teen novels Prada & Prejudice and You Wish.
