Curse of the Spellmans
by Lisa Lutz

Posted May 11, 2008

In the Spellman Files, Rae Spellman "disappears" herself and Henry Stone, San Francisco Police Inspector, is instrumental in locating the missing teen. Now she's Henry's shadow.

Izzy's also noted some strange behavior in regards to her Read more...
