Ellie Miller has always needed her space. Literally. With a touch that rots whatever she encounters, Ellie must keep people at a distance for their own good. Not that her classmates are itching to be best friends with the "freak" of the high school.

So when newcomer Nate MacPherson makes it his mission to get close to her, Ellie has her suspicions. But when he identifies her as a viviomancer who can work the forces of life and reveals himself to be a necromancer who can manipulate death, Ellie finds herself trusting Nate and the romance that is blossoming between them. Unfortunately for the two, family secrets can kill, and they will need more than their abilities to keep a zombie mom and a conglomerate of evil-doing supernaturals under control.

After spending her life pushing everyone away, Ellie's realization of the full extent of her power and willingness to let people get close to her may be the only way to save the ones she loves.

Industry Reviews

Booklist "Fans of paranormal will flock to Lewis' fast-paced debut that offers a unique take on being different." School Library Journal "The plot is compelling and fast paced. Teens will relate to Ellie's feelings of being different and her craving for human contact." MotherDaughterBookClub.com "An intriguing story with elements of both paranormal and horror ... Ellie is a strong character who has to overcome feelings of self-revulsion if she every hopes to make a connection with others. While her situation is unique, many teens will certainly be able to identify with her struggle to find the beauty in herself and her abilities. Will there be a sequel? I certainly hope so." Addictive Reading blog "[An] amazing, compelling, wonderfully written book." Me on Books blog "[An] intriguing look at a rather intriguing and rather complicated girl."
