Description
A teenager is accused of his own mother's murder in the New York Times bestselling author's YA paranormal thriller: "an engrossing page-turner" (Kirkus).
Thomas Bellweather hasn't been in town for long. Just long enough for his newlywed mother to be murdered, and for his new stepdad's cop colleagues to decide Thomas is the primary suspect. Not that there's any evidence. But before Thomas got to the small town of Garrett Mills, there had just been one other murder in twenty years.
The only person who believes him is Charlotte Rooker, little sister to three cops and, with her soft hands and sweet curves, straight-up dangerous to Thomas. Her friend was the other murder victim. And she's ready to stop at nothing to find out what happened. But the the answers she's after could get them both killed—and reveal a truth Thomas would die to keep hidden.

        What begins as a perfectly lovely contemporary teen romance with a dash of mystery devolves into a confusingly tangled tale. Even though Thomas hasn't been in Garretts Mill very long, he is already in a world of trouble, as he's the prime suspect in his mother's death. His life only gets more complicated when Charlotte, who has several relatives on the small town's police force, catches his eye at his mother's funeral. Thomas has the trust of his new stepfather, who is also a police officer, and Charlotte, but no one else. As Thomas and Charlotte come together, despite her family's dire warnings, to find out the truth about Thomas's mother, a strangely twisted tale of secrets, lies, and uncertainty threatens both Charlotte's life and Thomas's freedom. Alternating between the perspective of both teenagers, Kemmerer (the Elemental series) explores the dangers of stereotypes in young couplings, as well as the pitfalls and joys of close family relationships. A late-arriving paranormal twist, however, muddles things substantially, resolving nothing and raising many questions. Ages 14–up.

        A lonely teen is the only suspect in his mother's murder. Thomas Bellweather's mother was happily remarried for just 10 days before she was found dead in her bed. Now Tom is stuck in a town he barely knows with an awkward stepdad, a cop, and a police force breathing down his neck. At his mother's funeral he is befriended by Charlotte Rooker, a girl with a dad and three brothers that all happen to be cops. Charlotte believes in Tom's innocence, but a series of misadventures puts Tom in deeper and deeper trouble. Kemmerer spends the first two-thirds of the novel perfectly painting a small town with big fears. The author also sprinkles in just the right amount of teen lust and whodunit misdirects. The book's problems start when the narrative shifts gears into paranormal hokum, a disappointment when the author was building up such a great head of steam. Kemmerer is able to stick the landing, but only barely. A lot of exposition is thrown in at the last minute to make everything click into place, and the author's hands are felt far more than in the first two acts, which are effortless by comparison. The novel leaves a few small things unanswered, and a return to this world would not be unwelcome, particularly now that all the heavy lifting regarding empaths and Tom's shadowy father is out of the way. An engrossing page-turner that bites off a bit more than it can chew. (Paranormal thriller. 14-18)
