Dying sucks and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand. After a fatal car accident her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies.
Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things-including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming that Ember's curse is a gift she thinks he's a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it she's more than interested. There's just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden's adopted father a man she's sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities weird even her out.
When Ember learns that the accident that turned her into a freak may not have been an accident at all she's not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead and the closer she gets to the truth the closer she gets to losing not only her heart but her life. For real this time.
