exists on no maps and those who search on another level are
unable to see through the fog that surrounds the town.

some men came to their house. Corine's mother sends her
into the woods and Corine sees the house burned to the
ground. Every family who takes her in finds a reason to

behind. As Corine's powers grow, she feels the loss of
mother even more since there is no one to guide her in
learning to use her powers.
With Corine, comes her former boyfriend, Chance. Chance has
the most remarkable luck but there is always payback for his
skill. The women around Chance die very quickly after a
phenomenal find. Since Corine, intends to be around a long
time she has broken up with Chance. His love for her has
brought them to the point that he will do anything,
including search for the mysteries of Kilmer.
On their arrival, they discover two things. Cell service is
non-existent and Chance's abilities are not working; except
in the library. The two of them find that there are
mysterious disappearances all over town that no one seems to
be investigating. When Corine and Chance seemingly
disappear, her mentor, Jesse, comes after them.
With Jesse's help and the help of a young woman from Kilmer,

Corine will learn what happened the night her mother died
and find herself near death. Only with the intervention of
the creature responsible for the death of so many talented
children in Kilmer, will she survive to return to life in
Mexico.
A big fan of Ms. Aguirre's Sirantha Jax series, this was my
first opportunity to read her newer series surrounding
Corine Solomon. This was a fascinating look into an
alternate world in small town Georgia.
As with her other series, there is a certain darkness
surrounding the central character but the reader will find
there is a certain fascination in reading about someone who
has managed to rise above the horrors of their lives. This
book is a reminder that no one can live without friends and
those relationships will always shape our future.
The second in the thrilling national bestselling series
As a handler, Corine Solomon can touch any
object and know its history. It's too bad she can't seem to
forget her own. With her ex-boyfriend Chance in tow-lending
his own supernatural brand of luck-Corine journeys back home
to Kilmer, Georgia, in order to discover the truth behind
her mother's death and the origins of "gift".
But
while trying to uncover the secrets in her past, Corine and
Chance find that something is rotten in the state of
Georgia. Inside Kilmer's borders there are signs of a dark
curse affecting the town and all its residents-and it can
